Coming along nicely.

I was just looking and thinking it was a bit high at the front - the lack of an engine explains that!

Simon, are you gonna leave the apertures to the rad and IC open, as it is currently?

Or are you gonna mesh 'em? If you use mesh, it's gotta be 'track car'-esque 10-15mm square style - looks the meanest!

Have morrettes but prefer oe lights but air filters will be behind each light so may well end up with morrettes fitted maybe with air filter replacing a lens.

Nothing set in concrete at the moment

Or just create air intakes instead of lights and get an MOT for daylight use only

Painting the underside, that's a splendid idea, now where's my painter.

It really is coming together now, although I'd colour code that plastic of the fog lamp covers (only because that's what I did)

Lol I was joking. Car has no underseal but is in very good nick underneath so I rubbed back the odd bit and sprayed where cage and holes in floor have been welded up and the new diff mount etc to make sure it stayed that way. Didnt paint the lot as that would add weight.
