Cheers Stuart, I am getting there!!

Ok guys a little update.....

The shell is now finished. All painted and ready for the rebuild. I will be collecting it today and taking it back to the workshop. The rest of the panels, bumpers, bonnet, doors, wings etc will be ready at the end of the week.

update : been working on the subframes, start at the bottom & work up

Stripped the subframes down, they were is great condition. Cleaned, degreece'd them and a good rub down, then a new coat of paint. The front subframe is now ready for rebuild.

Trial fitted the rear bumper (ed, I like it, much prefer it to standard & the veilside one) Getting ready to fit rear & quarter windows.

All the door rubbers & trim is now fitted. It is now underway!

The flat bottom is going to fit perfect at the rear

There is so much left to do!

I'd love to get my car stripped down to that level and all the subframe bits painted up - I know it doesn't really serve a purpose but it looks great

- The car is coming on nicely.

That looks so wide. More like a hovercraft than an R32

The way it is perched on a few axle stands indicates just how light it is too. Good effort.

Ben,
Time is the big factor with the rebuild now. But I couldn't just wash the subframes off and bolt em back on so it had to be done. It's a good excuse to shed some wieght from there too

Stuart,
You can see it's wide but cannot really appreciate HOW wide, don't think I will really know until it's on the floor with wheels on. You the only person to notice it balancing act :lol: it's on 3 stands as between 3 of us we carried it of the truck and put it down. I will be changing it's resting position before I start adding things to it.

Ok update.

We have been really busy and unable to proceed with the car over the last 2 weeks. I have finished both sub frames and fitted those, the flat floor is now cut and all fitted, everything is here & ready to go. We are closing the workshop doors for 1 week combine that with a few 10 o
