Thanks mate, target date is FCS, but I'd like to squeeze a track day in before fcs around the end of May/early June if possible.

The engine bay is now nearly finished, I think you'll agree Marks done an epic job

Scuttle extended while retaining the standard wiper motor



Holes filled in & smoothed over on the engine bay chassis legs..

he's using pug sport mounts. look same as oem ones but stiffer and need this plates welded in.

re you filler comment, all the holes are welded up, ground down and then a skim of filler is applied, no more then 0.5mm of filler anywhere if u look back a few pages you will see my metal working skilles.

also when i have a client come to me, they explain what the cars been built for and its specs, i would not use glaze (not bodie filler) if its going to crack ones the cleints spent there hard earned cash 2 weeks later. josh uses the car for track and runs 250+ spring so i would neva use filler for this reason but such a think layer of glaze will never crack... no offence but body work is a highly skilled job to do RIGHT, and it annoys me when people think its very easy job to get it spot on and make smart arse comments.


anyways engine bay had now been etch primed any impercection be sanded out and will be primed in the morning, thurs will bring underside painted.
