Thought I show you a few pics of the work done today to fit the engine under the bonnet, and the dirty great 235's under the back wings.... Rescued attachment 18042007074.jpg

You'll never see the join!

Some swine's pooped on your bonnet Jasper ! A couple of pounds of jam (bridging filler) in there and you'll never know it was cut.

i'm sure that will soon polish out

Or

I think there may be a problem with your body work, not sure it lines up properly

Holy cr@p Jasper, perhaps it would have been easier to ditch the bodywork altogether?

PS Got a spare one of these lying around in the garage if it's any use...

Well done Jasp... you're a braver man than me.

nice to see 'some' progress, don't give up your day job

Didn't want a big square bonnet bulge, hence this more curved one - will look a bit better once it's had lots of filler!!

Being a child of the 70's we did like the side strakes, but they won't happened, and yes, we're going to take the front on the wings in fairly square and use a mesh infill.

Actually, all of that was done in just over 1 day, shows how much you can do when working with somebody who knows what they're doing

Are your lights still inside the 400mm limit that Mr SVA wants on the rear now that you have widened the rear arches?
