Haven't updated this for a while but progress has still been happening. Under coated the shell this morning in 2 pack. Still got doors and a few bits to undercoat but it should have it's new white coat on within a week then the transfer of running gear from the green mk2 can start.
Still on track for Sfs on feb 6th

Was going to load some pics but apparently the forum doesn't like iPhones so it will have to wait until I finish my beer and go inside

Beer finished so here is the pics i promised.

the swaged holes came up well, how hard is it to finish them with the panel being so thin? Is there a tool than can punch & swage at the same time?

The holes were done with a 32mm hole saw and then a really cool little flare tool i borrowed from a mate. It literally takes about 30 seconds per hole!

Well itsnow painted ... Been a while since i played with acrylic paint and forgot how much work it needs post painting!
Tomorrow i will be blocking it back and then hitting it with the buff.
It should be rolling by the end of the week and have the running gear from my green MK2 in it by the end of the weekend.

Still on track for SFS but a long way to go!

More progress ...

Its all been rubbed down again today and then had the buff run over it and then some polish.

I then started dismantling my green car so i could put the front end in. New coil overs, Bilstein competition inserts, adjustable tops, Kmac 22mm bar with adjustable caster. Brakes are BMW E30 rotors with Volvo 4 spots and long wheel studs.

It should be sitting on its wheels again tomorrow.







And my motor ...

ITS LOOKING FANTASTIC "G" You have done a great job so far. I am watching with great interest. Hope I can get fired up again soon and do some more on mine

Busy day today ... Its back on 4 wheels for the first time in months!

Engine fitted, alloy bellhousing fitted, gearbox would have been in but i am waiting for some redline shockproof oil for the rocket box which is due in tomorrow.

If all goes to plan it should be running in the next few days. Last week of holidays!

Here is the update pics.

Looks so good mate. White cars .

Franks motors are good.
