Thanks!
Those holes are for getting the channels completely waxoyled when the paintings finished, there's matching holes at the other end.
Well spotted!😉

They'll be blanked off with sealed rubber grommets to keep the elements out!

Hi Mikko,

Yes I'm going to do it all myself now!
Wasn't going to but why not, I've done everything else up to now!

Another long day yesterday saw both sides in paint Grin
Really happy with how it came out, quick flatten & polish then paint the roof / under the bonnet.
I got tyres fitted to the wheels last week along with new studs as the original Porsche ones at the rear were too long & had a shank that didn't let the nut screw on far enough.
Should be fitted to the 'pan & rolling soon Cool

looking Good, pictures probably don't do it justice though can't wait to see it in natural light outside.

so I'd better get my act in gear so we can do a callook run next spring to get an ice cream at the beach Grin

Yep!
The colour looks more olive in natural light, if it hadn't been raining so hard when I moved it onto the short stands this afternoon I was going to gat a pic of it outside Roll Eyes

Yep Cheesy
Looking forward to getting it outside for a proper look at the colour Cool
Away on a job Friday for 2 - 2 1/2 weeks so I'll get it on the pan once I'm home.

And it's done Grin
So now the shells painted it's time to get the chassis ready to do under it...
It's been wrapped up for a while now so I gave it a quick clean, fitted the wheels & pushed it outside Cool
Ive started fitting the body gasket but I'll need to go through it checking all the nuts & bolts as I can't remember if it was actually finished or not!

It's on!
Not the quick job I'd expected as the brackets for the rear brake pipes fouled the rear boot floor so I had to cut them off, move them back & make new brake pipes... Roll Eyes
It's on though & saw it outside for the 1st time, totally different colour in daylight, doesn't photograph well though & it's a bit darker than it looks, probably the flash but it's just a phone camera pic Grin
Just need to keep bolting bits too it now...

Looks awesome Kev! can you explain the stonechip you used? I have seen it but didn't know what is was. I like the idea of that since mine will be a driver also. I am ordering some panels from the same guy you used.
Thanks,

Larry
