Thanks for all the kind comments chaps

Must remember to keep my fingers away from the keyboard when I've had a few sherbets!

As ever, things don't go quite as swiftly as planned however after a weeks holiday I returned to find all panels finally in top coat....







...and ready for fitting up...



...somebody once told me it's all about the detail - a photo for Rich, cheers mate ...



... and so we begin...



One concern we had was what to use as a front wing sealant as Dum Dum has been unavailable for some time now - we opted for this 3M product available from woolies-trim.co.uk, it comes in handy strips, is waterproof, doesn't set hard, will not shrink, can be over-painted and is apparently the closest product to the original available - seems to have worked a treat ...



Getting very close to a finished shell now



Thanks for looking

Looks fantastic Darren !

Will it be finished in time for Hedingham ?

terrific update Darren, looks awesome. I sense the need for a trip over to Sunny Swindon.

That paint looks super creamy, Darren. Now you're back from your hols kick some butt and get it put it back together in time for the castle, after all, you still have another two (three?) weeks!

Hi Darren

Looks great what a fantastic moment when it all come together as a complete painted shell.

Kind regards

Thanks chaps - it'll certainly be making it to the Castle.....just not sure sure which year!

Although it will probably beat your 904 there Andy

You're welcome anytime Nigel - just missed seeing your car today, hoping to have a measure up later in the week

Cheers,

Superb..

Looking good there Darryn...

Fantastic update Darren, this car is going to be a stunner !

Love the hinge pins. .mmm.

Well done Darren, really coming together now!

A day of fettling.....
