only my oppinion (spelt wrong) but i wouldnt panel the car up until you have the brake lines and wiring in position as it can be quite restricting (and easily damaged)

looks good thou

Good point but i think it's not fixed yet, hence the cleco fasteners. (But i may be wrong as i usually am!)

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!

yep did that just before winter 2 years back.

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