I'm not sure if colour will suit it but once whole car painted it might be different story

Did you put any sound deadening on the back of the sheets? Isn't it going to make a bit of noise? I like the smooth floor but why? What's your plans?

It wasn't level before Cutch, there was a hump & needed to be level for the fuel tank to sit on.
As for sound deadening I will be Dynamatting the whole floor

The rough look on my track car annoys the hell out of me so I know what you mean. Looks good, looking forward to seeing the build up.

Small update....
Welded up a small open section above the tunnel/under the bulkhead....
Sorted a section of the bulkhead that was abit beaten up.... Before & after we cut back the metal that wasn't needed
Not all good news though, looks like it will need both rear inner & outer arches before we go any further
Hopefully get these cut out & welded up by the weekend.

Another small update.....
Battery tray has been removed due to early signs of rust, wasn't bad but didn't want to be doing it 6/12 months down the line after its painted!
Rear arches are done & in primer.
Also finished the prep & should be in primer in the next few days.
Will keep you all updated.
JP.

8j et42 on the rear & 7j et25 on the front.
I measured the back space & Barry at Compomotive worked out the right offsets.
