Thanks for your comments guys

As rough as the car is it HAS to have some paint done, it simply looks too rough to even be seen on the road, although it has a mot I would expect a tug with it looking how it does

The guy I'm building it with had the 11 sec Nova from last year, he ran solid bars in his and said it was awful ! They are still available though if I want to try them.

On my old car I just locked the rear dampers out which seemed to help it get off the line, 2.0 60ft isn't bad on a set of A539's and this car has slightly better tyres then that !

Anyway, we have had another good day on it, the doors are now even lighter and I spent an hour or so with a hole cutter which has improved the weight a little

The arches now have a small amount of filler in them and the doors were being completely rubbed down when I left a while ago

The paint has turned up so were just needing to finish some welding off, remove a few more parts and prep the shell and paint it, obviously take the word prep with a pinch of salt LOL
