    The main body has been sanded and is looking great. The guys have started on the left front fender and hope to have that finished by the end of the week. Progress, progress!

    Headlight test fit. Close to perfect, just a little work required.

    Frontal shot with the shiny eyes in place. The aluminium radiator grill is not completely bolted tightly in place, that's why the vertical gaps aren't 100% correct yet. But you get the general idea! IMG_1925.JPG

    Thank you everyone for the comments! Progress is steady and the guys at the bodyshop are doing their magic. (their attention to detail is immaculate). The way things are looking now, the first coat will be on the car in a few weeks! Here's a pic from a couple of days ago. A well deserved beer!

    Thank you FF! The crew have been busy. The right front fender is approaching the last stages and I mounted the grill trim to ensure everything, including the gaps, is still correct.
