i cannot comprehend how much work is involved in making your own body work, i filled a few holes and prepared mine for spraying and that was more
than enough for me.
Well done, give us some more spec details. Also, how do you start to go about making your body?, i have seen threads with people covering their
chassis with ply wood and mdf but not sure how they get to the finished article.

the engine is mondeo 2.0 zetec so plenty of tuneability (when money is available) also i am hoping to put it in production if everything goes to plan
and the mondeo is a cheap donor car.
i havnt decided 100% on the colour scheme yet but it could be matt black with silver panels because i have a black and silver steering wheel.
making the panels is one of the hardest parts. i usually start with some moulding foam which i think you can see in some of the pictures. it shapes
very easy then glass over it, skim it with filler and prime and paint. then you have to mould it and make the proper part. then you cry when you smash
the original foam bits to pieces to get them off the chassis. a lot of hard work but worth it in the end. i have also used mdf as a starting point on
the back panels, i think there are some pics showing that aswell.

Cool hats off to you mate and I appreciate the amount of work you have put into that, don't you just hate it when you have to smash the plug
though!!! then all that filler ending up as dust on the floor.
Keep it up though and look forward to seeing that finished, given me a kick in the arse to get mine done now cheers matey...although mine hardly has
any steel in it...
