Maybe having it on Tributes stand, gives you a great market place and would show a well finished car with a good resale value, should help Chris as well.

You can get a pretty good match to the paint using RAL codes to get some flow coat. It will transform the underneath of the bonnet and disguise the strengthers. I have used 15mm polypipe on mine but...

I agree with Smash, the only small petty detail that I don't like is the square front number plate. Oblong and black and silver would be nice (but naughty).

With arc welding you will only make holes in car bodywork, you need to use mig and don't go for gassless as it is too hot and again you will tend to blow holes through the car bodywork.

You can also use hose pipe, very useful on curves, it's the GRP matting that goes over the top that gives it the strength. My wife can't work out why the garden hose seems to be getting shorter!

Thanks for the photos.

Where are the cracks on the front wings?

The carpet that you are using looks to be a pretty good match to the original boot carpet. Where did you get it from?
