yep its not fixed yet.

The plan is to dry build then strip paint and rebuild it like a kit.

That's what I plan to do with my next kit - it'll make for a better build as you can weld on little tabs and brackets rather than use ali or steel angle and rivets. It'll give a better end result (if a little more time consuming).

I take it you've primed the cahssis to stop it rusting in the meantime?

Build looks good too!

Like you say I have found a few extra bits to weld on.
