the panels were mocked up and i decided to move the grill surround for better ground clearance.
after 3 atempts i got it in the right place along with the wings.
made a tube fame that bolts to the front crossmember.this supports the rad/fan/grill suround as well as the bonnet hing kit.this fitted finally after a bit of alteration.running boards and rear wings were next and then it was on to getting all of the panel gaps correct

the car came with flush rear lights but they were to small.
fitted some new larger ones along with the rear indicators.in the picture you can see where the wings been cut and reshaped for a better panel gap.this was done both sides along with the running boards and parts up the front

the car came with internal bracing already fitted which was handy as it was somewhere to weld to.
inside rear shows the base for the rear seat along with the air tank(shortened) for the suspension.theres a fair bit of electrics in the car so the suspension computer/some relays/compressor/cd player/batterie will all live under or behind the seats
