[Gingerbread Man]

I'm picking mine up from the garage tomorrow evening after a head gasket replacement.

Sods law.

Its certainly motoring along!

Out of interest, is the 348 (is it a 348 with 355 wheels?) in the background being done too? Is that also someones off here - I know some comments were made earlier on in the thread....

Thanks again for sharing these with us Mark.

Cheers

Latest report from Al

Luggage lid stripped, headlamp surrounds stripped, headlamp pods stripped & fillet panels stripped.
Just the grille & bumpers left to strip, I'll be beginning the filler work on the engine lid tomorrow.

Filler work - How bad is the body work once all the paints been shed?

I think you should have left it bare metal and had a clear coat instead! It will be an italian back to the future deloren!

It's not bad at all but the Engine cover suffered an accident with the previous owner, apparently his Gardener dropped a large plant pot on it!

Bet he was given a lye in the next week.

by hand

All of the final 1st sanding done, all of the areas with imperfections (shape) have been stoppered up (an ultra fine filler), the worst being a panel form behind the n/s/r wheelarch, obviously there from the factory & fairly slight, but needed doing anyway.
Now I know the door lines are correct, the doors are removed.
Final high build prime over the stoppered areas & guide coated.
