Have only just spotted this thread..... WOW!!! Car looks amazing Sal. Love the colour, and the work done so far. All that long term planning is paying off. PS - little known (insignificant) fact..... that trailer (race shuttle), that you can see the body being loaded into in the pic above, was the first thing I designed after leaving Uni.  |

Getting the body on the pan's tougher than I expected... ... Race at the 1st meeting of the season ...
See above, could be a couple of years yet!  ... PS - little known (insignificant) fact..... that trailer (race shuttle), that you can see the body being loaded into in the pic above, was the first thing I designed after leaving Uni ...
Don't s'pose you get them for free do you?  Cool bit of kit. |

Looks amazing, bet your well chuffed Looking Good Sal Cheers Ladies, I am pretty pleased with the result so far. A little overwhelmed at what we need to do to complete it. Its so perfect at the moment, I am scared to touch it in case I fuck it up. Fortunately my excitement should overcome the panic. |

Fortunately my excitement should overcome the panic." I can totally understand your worries Sal. One tip, if you wear jeans or work wear with metal buttons, tape the buttons to protect the paint. Been there - done that Ups... Of course you gals wear tiny skirts and see through tops when you work on your car..

Don't s'pose you get them for free do you? Cool bit of kit. I wish! (though I'll still ask anyway!!) If I could I'm sure you would have known about it by now. I can think of a few occasions it would have come in handy for a few people. |

One tip, if you wear jeans or work wear with metal buttons, tape the buttons to protect the paint. Been there - done that When I worked for Vauxhall (the UK part of Opel/General Motors) on my work placement year from university in 1998-1999, track workers were issued with several of those oh-so-80's sweat bands and I couldn't work out why. Then I spotted where they were worn - one on the wrist over the workers watch, and the other on their belt, over the buckle. Nothing worse than the first scratch on brand new paint... |

Looking good Sal and Mat!! Fit a mexican AC kit to that Cali motor, ship it out here and I can promise she'll never have to have rain touch those inner arches!! Hope to see it in motion later this year... Cheers TomJ |

Sal got her floorpan back this week. Cris & Co had been finishing it off back at the Birkshop and we all helped load it in his Caddy and trundle it over. Job done, time to 'Steve' at it with coffee in hand.  Sal can't believe it's actually home at last.  Body shell looks amazing.   |

Have they not built a drive-in-the-rain-dome yet? I thought they had everything there? Surely this is a missed opportunity. … Hope to see it in motion later this year ...
That’s plan ‘A’. Did I mention there is also a plan ‘B’? Mañana and all that… … Job done, time to 'Steve' at it with coffee in hand ...
There’ll probably be quite a bit more of that before it's done. Lookin good, what time did you leave the Ace? I think about 5:30, now have boxes of parts all over the living room, thanks! |

i know this is a British car, but i sure hope you have thought off a good rustresistant primer first, as i think there will be a lot off drooling over that car...
so back on topic, is the scale model done?
