I've been reading this on and off for couple years now and I have to say the commitment is extraordinary. Good luck on the home straight, Frayz!

Chin up mate.

The under skin requires finishing but the top skin is done and the strike pins are in.

Naturally i took some pics along the way

Little tool i made to make this job a shtload easier.






Bit of a resurrection, but as I'm about to do this can I ask, did you use the hole that already exists in the bonnet that alighns with the raised bit in the slam panel Do they line up quite well?

Cheers

Jon

Hey Frayz, good holiday? Did you have any joy with the downpipe before you went away or is it in progress as we speak?

Hey Si,

Was hoping to have got it done beforehand, but my "help" was tied up. So it will be done asap.

It needs to be done asap as i can do sod all else till it is done and then coated of some sort.
