Thank you Kevin. Every now and then I have a need to assemble all the bits I've made just to give me a bit of encouragement and to show that progress is actually being made. I think with any project it is easy to get into the doldrums from time to time and a bit of assembly does provide a well needed boost. Next job is to finish the right hand rear quarter light panel and then I'll be ready for the final in situ TIG weld which will join all the rear panels together. Once that's done I'll be on the home straight. :)

Rear wing offered up to give flavour of the shape of the rear end.

I received a standard steel roof finisher yesterday and my fingers have been crossed that it would fit my roof; certainly not a foregone conclusion. I had to open the gap a tad because two thicknesses of steel is half a mil or so thinner than one sheet of 1mm plus 1.5mm of aluminium. To my great relief it tapped on very nicely following the profile of my roof just about exactly.

I don't think I mentioned it earlier but I am working on an Alfa TZ bonnet for my project. Amazingly, dimensionally it is close to the GT6 bonnet and should fit. At the moment it is in two halves but picture shows it offered up. It will once trimmed move back and the wheel arches will be in the right place.

Just a practice. I think I have it. That's all right isn't it?
