looks like a good project! do make sure you make sure everything is aligned correctly, or you could be going down the road sideways!
looks like it needs about as much work as the last one...

Are you keeping the black car aswell m8? Starting that wing I had off you this week, good panel that was mate. Could you pm me where you get your panels like that chassis leg from?

Well done! From what you show, the doors, bodywork looks good, and looks a nice "genuine" flat paint finish. If it were mine I'd sort the chassiswork out, but leave the cosmetics alone and go for the oily-rag finish!

I reckon it would look great in Morris minor turquoise! Lowered and sat on a set of van rims or banded steels

hope you've got all the glass covered up to protect it from grinding sparks and weld spatter. pita to have to change all the glass!
please please don't take too much off at once and think of it as 'progress'. just do bits at a time, or it could all be out of line.
ask me how i know!
