Looking great - could make the top 10 "gold plaque" build!

Centre mirror perhaps?

Looking very swish!
As you say, just a few IVA things, main thing I see is stuff thats going to need coverings. Wing stay fastenings? Track rod covers ect?

Looking good mate, don't forget the harness fittings need covering

Cheers

your rear wheel arches are on back to front e.g you have the left one on the right and right one on the left.

Funny you should say that had them on the other way but when I got stone chip plates they seemed to fit better on the other side of arch also lights sit flatter on the way they are so fitted them that way.

if we all did everything the same it would be boring. i like the look from the back. its quite agressive with the angle on the arches. what engine have you fitted? i notice that the exhaust is on the passenger side meaning its not a pinto. also the lack of airfilter through the bonnet has me interested. spill the beans

well done Jeff.

I'm collecting pictures of Haynes Roadsters and it did occur to me that the rear wheel arches are fitted the other way round in some cars.
Once you start noticing there is a distinct difference in appearance. Have a look at finished cars and try your arches before you fix them to the chassis.
