Great progress Tony. The convertible rear needs a bit of more time with panel alignment than the hardtop just give me a call if you need any more pointers.

I have a glass or red wine in my hand, keeps me sane. As does the build.

Looking great Tony - Have you chosen what colour to paint it.
If Chris had these before i started my build i would have definitley built a car like yours - probably with the aston style front.
If you haven't seen my Roadster thread next door in the Sammio forum it might be worth a look.

Good progress. Nice flares!
Interesting you mention undersell. My rear arches are undersealed, apart from the outer 3" !!
Thats how it was from new. No wonder they rust on the arches! Not much to stop water getting past the flanges and spot welds. They may not all be the same mind!

For now a 48mm curved stainlessteel extention pipe from ebay. Have to see what will fit under the kit or just get Longlife to design and fit a system.
