OSR tub complete and her qtr panel now being tacked in for the final time.
All panel gaps and snagging will be dressed and set before final prep and paint.
She edges closer to getting on the spit

MOAR!!!!!!

99% of the metal fabrication done now on her rear flares and tubs. Next job will be snagging and rear bumper alignment before laying up the rear doors.

Yes mate. Think there's about 600 man hours in each shell.

Looks great mate. I don't think people really appreciate the work that goes into a proper works shell, it's really mind blowing.

In most cases they can cut back into the shell and just replace the bent bits. WRC shells are lifed anyway and refreshed after so many kms

Cheeky mock up using an S9 rear door looks promising.
Daves now got the painstaking task of making the rear doors flares & returns from scratch, good job he's not bad at the metal lark.
Can't use the doors he already made as the S9 onwards used wagon rear doors with a higher latched strike pin. This allowed for larger wheel clearance when the rear wheels were bought even further forward on the S9 onwards. As it is the S7/8 brings them further 15mm to standard.
