Returns added to boot opening, rain gutters will be added at re-moulding stage, the show deadline wont allow such luxuries at the moment



Steel tube "crash bar" added to Spitfire door opening to reinforce new higher door opening when shell is in place. It also gives somewhere to hinge the new doors



Hinge is mix of MX5 door and Spitfire boot hinge, they will need to be re-manufactured, but helped to work out the pivot point and clearance, and will suffice for the show







Change of plan on the scuttle area, more room required for hinges and helps with the proportions of the bonnet opening





Made a start on internal paneling. Battery will need relocating from under the bonnet to the void behind the seats, or the boot.



Scars left when removing the head fairing are now filled
