Thanks for all the feedback, it's a little nerve wracking entrusting this kind of work to someone you don't really know but Dave has exceeded my expectations and is doing a superb job. IIRC the original John Barlow demonstrator was all blue but that is based on adverts I've seen in old mags.

Earlier this week I popped over to the bodyshop to drop of more panels. I delivered the rear wings, bonnets and wheels. The steel wheels are going off to 'Dave's mate' to be shot blasted before being painted.
Things are coming along nicely......
Following flatting back Dave decided to apply another clear coat.

The body tub should be ready for collection early next week so fingers crossed for dry weather for the journey back

P.S. the 'Midnight blue' looks black in these shots but it is painted blue
