He doesn't post enough on here any more :( wish he would update more often. Is it getting somewhere or is it at a standstill?

Thanks man.

you were all meant to take the "meh" with a pinch of salt. Being ever so slightly sarcastic.

*eurocars* · 03-10-2014, 07:48 AM

Making decent progress. You keeping the rub strips on the doors or shaving those too? Looking forward to seeing it all done

Elliott · 03-10-2014, 08:34 AM

Thanks dude, Doors will be fully shaved. No rubstrips.

Teezy_GP · 03-10-2014, 10:11 AM

great work on the car man .. also looking at " widening " my rear arches .. cant wait to see how they come out

Elliott · 03-10-2014, 03:04 PM

Well today we got a few more bits done. Started on the drivers door handle and welded the notch in place.

Elliott · 03-10-2014, 03:15 PM

And also got primer on the front bumper.
Door skins are off as of last thing tonight and will have the holes welded first thing in the morning, while the second handle(drivers side) will be getting molded.
Then it's just the hood notch and she will be ready for paint. Hopefully more updates tomorrow.

Thanks man. No crazy wide body for me, just getting cleanly pulled as far as they can go.
