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!

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?
