Bit of an update.
car panel work has been taken back to bare metal again... and a new primer applied all round.
Will be undersealing underneath this week, with a view to start fitting out suspension and components underneath next weekend, and taking down off the rottisierie. Hope to have home in my garage soon after, to start pre-fitout of engine, and complete the new wiring, ECU & fuel system requirements.

Looking awesome. It seems so far off now, but once it's painted it will move along pretty fast
