Well hello again. Its been 3 months since i did owt to my poor scooby so thought it was about time I pulled my finger out and do a bit!!
Not a big update but it is an update nonetheless!
I have removed the vents and welded up the washer jet holes and skimmed them. Was hoping to have got more done but its been taking the filler an hour to go off between coats as its so cold, grrr
Anyway pics (only two as i got carried away and forgot to take any lol )
Stonechip holes filled
Have been humming and harring over wether to lose the scoop but decided the scoop is staying as it just wouldn't be a scooby without one!!
Hoping to get her stripped down and up on stands and ready for sealer/primer early next week!!

Hiding them on the scuttle panel like trails has 
or on the wiper arm itself!
Filler finally dried!! And flatted off!!
and primed
I have removed the brakelight from the bootspoiler and filled in the hole with 2 layers of fibreglass. Just needs the top skimming with some filler when the glass finally goes off, in about a year at this rate!!

Right, finally got the doors off today;
Removed the wings and bonnet too.
Jacked her up, removed wheels and placed her on axle stands. Followed by some masking up. Novel use for the bubble wrap the house builder left in my garage!!
saving money ftw
My scoobynet sticker is still there!!

I've not seen this thread before great work I have to say 
That's the first time I have seen the relocation of the washer jets and filling the bonnet holes, very clean looking I have to say well done

Most of the time, its the only brake light that works on some of the bangers I see.
Anyway, here is some info I found, but it is Wikipedia, so not gospel: Automotive lighting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But it says from 1998 onwards anyway.

Hey mate this is coming along really well. Can't believe how much hard work has been involved, but you're doing a proper job! The new bumpers are looking cool too. Now get a move on!

Paint is getting ordered today (completely different to what I had originally planned for and hopefully unique to a Scooby [still blue btw]!!) and hopefully will start painting late on next week, can't wait!
