Photo progress report from today. The front panel is in place, with the RH front guard, and radiator upper panel. Lots of detail in this work – gaps around the doors, bonnet, headlights, grille and heart. When I arrived Sam was working on the headlight frames using my headlights and rims to fit.
The new repro front guard is good, but as expected it needs a lot of work to fit properly and gap to the bonnet. Lots of finishing work still to be done here, but great to see the front of the car in one piece. Sam expects to have this all done and in primer by next weekend, and will be ready to move to the rear of the car.
