Thanks Troppo,Paul, I couldn't be happier it's finally getting closer to being started, and driven.
It's been a interesting journey since I started the build lots of ups and downs,but was great to finally see the shell completed and painted. And the colour worked out way better then what I had pictured in my head it would look like, we used a candy base coat then three coats of 2015 Ford ruby red, Three coats of red pearl, three of clear= good enough to lick!!!
Next Is getting all the Underside finished, Painted, and suspension  shocks (Gaz adjustables Koni )(suggestions??) fit Full bushes kit (not sure yet what is the best option (nolathane, rubber, any suggestions???? Hopefully the wheels arrive next week and will chuck the tyres on and see how the car looks..

Definitely go nolathane, rubber mat be cheaper but its softer and will not last as long. Nolathane will make the ride a little harder but you will feel the difference in the handling when you start throwing it around
