At this stage, I have most of the body prep done - there is about 10metres of chopped-strand-mat over various parts in order to get panel gaps & curvature right (& about 6 months of glassing/sanding/glassing/sanding) !!

The previous owner had kindly covered the whole of the inside front & engine bay with bitumen paint - this took some 2 months to fully remove so that "real" paint could be laid on (this was not a fun time - permanently black hands & clothes, & a wife nearly ready to have me certified) !!
