Lancelot, Oxford & Mr T - Cheers chaps, although I'm sure using a 'bike' #7 will upset a few car purists anyway.
So perhaps I should add a new "sponsor" to my overalls while I'm at it.

Pops - Thanks for doing that.
The fact the driver's side photo was taken 'looking down' means that you can see more of the scuttle area.
Which, in turn, makes the body shell extension look both smaller than it is, and smaller by comparison.
For a further comparison, here are two completed Sammio Cordite MkIs without the body shell / bonnet modification.
13" wheels
15" wheels
So the real improvement in my car is the fact I've kept my donor's 13" wheels but reduced the arch gap to the equivalent of fitting 15" wheels.
( Whilst retaining the full 'flip up' bonnet that the silver demonstrator didn't have. )

But the key thing for me now is to stop worrying about the wheel arches and get the car ready for an MOT.
Because, as I've said before, does it look like Vanessa's front arch profile is stopping
Andy enjoying his car?

Next Steps:
- Add the closing panel to the body shell extension on the driver's side.
- Sort out the bonnet locating pins on both sides.
- Smooth out the join/gap between the bonnet and scuttle.
- Tidy up and seal the underside of the front half of the car.
- Then start fitting/fixing everything needed for an MOT.
Although today I am off to a meeting to find out what is going on with my "real" work project.
Cheers, Paul.
