Are you planning to add doors? If not, those sketched side windows might mean some walkways up the rear deck in order to get in.

Sorry, I should also have said, looking good!

Like the idea of doors but will make lift out or hinge side screen

CarNoob - Your car is coming together nicely.

Good luck with the rest of it, Paul.

PS
Does the boot "lip" have / need a drain, or does it simply seal water tight?

Hopefully watertight but I may add a drain.

Hole for the speaker

bit the bullit for the rear lights by cutting holes so the sit flush



Filled in with ply a the rear and glassed in

Another nice touch.

I Keep chipping away!

push fastener

Many, many thanks. THat site has all the stuff I've been looking for

CarNoob - I also picked up a similar stepped drill bit set from ebay and have almost worn them out.

Those push fasteners look good.

Are they self tapping, or do you need to bond them to the body work / boot lid?

Cheers, Paul.

Hi Paul the top one has a retaining clip the bottom one a nut but I may bond it in. It only took 8 months to finally find a small fastener but I was sure they were out there if I kept looking::

top of wings seem a little weak



added three layers of chopped matting



Also had the SU carb needle sleeve stuck removed and cleaned

After fitting lights position was not symmetrical 1.5 cm lower and 1.5 to the right. I could have glassed the back and recut the hole but it kicked in to the left, so out came the cutting disc and moved position. another problem solved.
Also recessed front indicators idecided to go for clear for the front I think they look better this picture is befor I moved the left headlight position

Looks tidy.

CarNoob - The view from the front looks very good.

Is it my eyesight, or has your car gained an extra hump recently?

Cheers, Paul.

rear boot carpet

yes I made a new hump about 12 months ago. It will be removable.

Tried out sowing skills and borrow over locking machine for boot carpet






view from inside boot with access panel

Centre console is now ready for primer I am going to cover in leather with stainless steel dividers so it's easy to remove

I've just been catching up on your build and it's looking very tidy!

Out of interest, what is the chrome handbrake lever that you're using? Is it one of the Lokar ones?
