Here it is all finished, assembled and detailed.
Lots of priming, filling and blocking to get it as straight as possible before laying down the PPG base coat and clear coat.
More work on panel fitment and then cleaning the old oxidised aluminium and getting it into epoxy primer ready for some bodywork.

Getting on with tidying up some of the pre existing welding, doing some new welds and getting some better gaps.
This is such a cool car! It’s got some pretty ill-fitting panels so most of the work will be correcting that. No rust to deal with this time!
