Yes, I see your point but i was asked if i was happy and i am, once it's undersealed and the suspension and other furniture is on i don't think you'll notice it at all. It's never been my intention to build a concours car. (Havn't got the patience)

Small update, I went to the bodyshop today and a big thanks to Lee @ the bodyshop as hes been spending alot of time undersealing the rear half of the car, the lips under the arches are completely filled with it so they are flush to touch. Hes also covered practically every join or seam with the stuff. Really pleased with how it looks underneath, with alot of Waxoyl inside the metalwork and the underneath blackened it should last me for quite a while!

Finally the chassis Rails all completed!

Major update today, went in to hopefully fit all the rear beam and suspension to get the thing rolling, all the underneath had been blackened, so it was then a case of putting the rear beam onto body and also my shiny new AVO coilovers. All starting to look more like a car now!! Then i had to mask them all off for when the car is sprayed! Hope you all like!

Went to the bodyshop today and some more progress has been made, the underneath has been sanded down, degreased, etch primed, primed and then undersealed so thats practically complete! The Engine bay has been rubbed down degreased, etch primed and the joins are now being/have been sealed!
Hope you all like! All comments welcome as usual!

Been to the bodyshop today and it's now been moved into the paintshop, really pleased with how tidy it looks, it's had the bonnet and doors removed so that it can be painted. I've put some pics of the boot area as it has been etch primed and sealed. Hope you like?
