Thanks Paul I spent some time looking for a doner. i wanted to limit the build time and I needed a good base to start with due to the construction. This spitfire ticked all the boxes so I think the extra outlay was worth it.

So these photos that follow are the first fitting of the body to the spitfire tub






As you can see from the photos the body is sitting high at the rear and also at the front so a steady aproach with the grinder removing small amounts untill the body sits correct.

First photos show the top of the dashboard.



Working towards the back of the spitfire this was the next area to be trimmed.




finally the back of the car. There was much more trimming and body trying before I got to this point as my lift assistant for the body pointed out to me.









I Now turned my attention to the fuel tank and repostioned and trimmed away the rear top pannel to give better acess for the boot area.
