Kev,

Got the p.m. i'll let you know if I have any joy....might have some for sale off my car in a couple of months if you still aint sorted...

Air con is the day job so if you want a deal on duct fan etc ive got some spare duct off a spray booth we did recently....its rather large IIRC its about 800mm

Can get any size as well as the fittings.

Regards

Ian

As above use the same clips one type has a longer "Nose" (cant remember if was fronts or rears), if its the fronts just give this "Nose" a quick file down if popping them into the rear

Stunning... simple.....

Is there a particular reason you chose to do panels one side then mask? Other than the ease of trying to hang them all up then get nice gloss levels on BOTH sides without runs ?

Took you a while to mask up I imagine

I might try that next time as I dont have any panel stands, I usually use chains from the roof which is fine till the panels swing lol

Looks stunning Kev, can't wait to see it all done!

In terms of the gearbox, what does FFD mean? I see alot of these on rally cars for sale!

Whats the plans for the old car aswell?
