That is so beautiful..

Are you going to put the "86" stickers on it?

Well its not entirelly identical, but once in full trim, nobody will notice.

Interesting what have I missed?

Thanks , yes I will complete the rest of the stickers. I needed what I have done to be able to fit the rest of the body kit at this stage . I used vinyl for these parts as it was easier than trying to control over spray from painting with so many different colours

On second thought i might have missjudged it, because you dont have your mirrors bolted in yet, the border there is quite alright. Although the white stripe borders are not entirely alligned, it slightly widens towards the bottom.. but as i said, its unnoticable, whats more important is that the job looks very well done!

looks great to me,
it must be satisfying to see it all coming together

Thanks , yeah it does feel like this thing has started to move forward , but there is still a huge amount of work to do yet .
Yesterday was spent fitting up the body work for the final time and getting some suspension back in to make the thing movable .

Here's some photos of progress so far








As you can see the ride height is not correct yet as there is no motor or gearbox fitted .The paintwork has come up fantastic ,all the prep work is worthwhile .
The wheels have fitted to what I wanted perfectly , the width ,offset and tyre
widths and diameter are just right. Some of these things can be a bit hit and miss when all you have to go by is various bits of info from the internet and knowing what doesn't work from past experience .
Time to have a day to relax and maybe do a bit more tomorrow.
