A little step forward in that the drivers side indicator pod and horn grill are finally fitted and bolted in. Lots of test fitting to get everything to line up

It's the little things in a build that take the most time to get right. Getting these little things right make the difference in a quality build over one that's thrown together. I'm sure your getting the satisfaction of doing it right to...

Slowly but surely you'll get there.

Just found this thread.
Excellent work and care to detail, and as Gary says, the fit of the front parts is really good!

Thought the view of the scissors with fibre glass strands all over them quite funny, sorry, but I've been there over the last many years.

Evil stuff resin.

Keep going and reporting esp the excellent pictures.

Nice to look at something different to welding big holes in a 911 shell! :)

Not at all - somebody enjoying building a car and doing something very different - what's not to like!
