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..

You need one of these 😉

Its called a rotisserie, theres plenty of free plans on the net if your welding is up to scratch, or you can buy then from about $600 and up

Thanks troppo ,I knew it was a rotisserie thought Paul was showing me something new he was working, I was looking at the gearbox mount, I have a hoist to assist me in painting the underneath. But yes a rotisserie would have made it soooo much easier

No. Nothing really of interest but needed to repair some holes in the floor from dodgy seat mountings and finish off the gearbox cross member. Whilst at it I may as well give the underside a re-seal etc

Got the most of the windows in, door handles, and finished the black around the grill and windows, and the candy wheels and tyres looks awesome in the sunlight!!! lol BRING ON THE NEW WHEELS.
