HouseMartin is on a distinguished road
Default Only half a job

Well I manged to cut a little more of the front of the donor.
Cut away the front and removed the front bumpers channel and suporting metal work


Still leaving the front inner wheel arches in place


Cut off the outer lips of the existing wheel arches to help side the bonnet over easier


So now the top of the top edge of the lower lip of air intake is 28cm above grond level 4mm higher than CT's.
The lower edge of the bonnet is now at the same height as lower edge of the original scimitar lower front valance .
The 4cm difference can be due to the car now sitting heigher with no doors, glass, bumpers and other bits and peices


The bonnet was sitting on the top of the water overflow bottle, so it was removed and will have to be repositioned on the final build.








Don't go any further LL!













I could not resist the idea of fitting the rear end while the existing windscreen is still in place. So I know i will regret this in future, but I made the kit into a 3 piece rather than a 2 piece


A litttle bit of proping of the front roof let me remove a section of the roll over bars so I could slide the rear of the kit over the door aperture.
However I ran out of time and daylight to get the back fitted correctly.
It will have to wait until next weekend for the finished view.


I can't wait to see how awful it looks.
