Hi Jamie, keep checking for updates. The panels will fit both Mk1 and 2 with some trimming of panels when bonding them on to the base car.

Probably around the £1500 mark, obviously it will not need the rollcage either!

Progress on the soft-top rear end. The boot lid needed "deconstructing" to reduce the height at the rear to follow the line of the rear wings.
The top of the rear wings needed sectioning and lowering to work with the soft top. Interesting to see the width and length the kit adds to the car whilst the top of the wing is missing.
Rear works much better with the top of the wings lowered.
Removable hardtop anyone?

The buck is now 95% finished. The rear lights came from my "that will come in handy for something" box, I have no idea what they are from but they really suit this car.

Very nice, but I agree with others that the rear overhang does look a little too long in my opinion and maybe with a shorter rear and front overhang the proportions would improve greatly.
Just an idea...

Let's pray for some sun on Monday and I will get it out of the workshop and take some better pictures for you.

Is it still possible to fit a standard hard top to the car?
Any chance of a few photos with one on???

Yes you can still fit the original hardtop on after conversion. I don't have one to show you, but will Photoshop something and post on here in a few days.

A bit rough around the edges, but we will be driving to Donington on Friday afternoon.

Nice one, I didn't think there would be an issue but I had to ask.

Progress on the new rear wing moulds. Final sanding before a coat of PVA. Some of the hardtop moulds will still be interchangable.
Finished moulds needing trimming and "cracking" off
