Just posting a few photos as 'working progress' with some items
I'd bonded the rear deck to the frame, but had to take it off again. Photo will show why
I had purchased the windscreen cheese cutter kit for £10 off ebay, let me say that the wire supplied is pretty much useless. Luckily a windscreen fitter was around the corner fitting a new screen, he gave me a a couple of metres of square stainless wire, I cannot recommend this stuff enough, not one snap and it tore through the poly adhesive.
About 6 years ago, I approached Brian and Roland at Stoneleigh, for ideas on how to increase the air flow through the engine bay to take care of the heat produced by the v8, I asked if the 5cudo rear panel would fit, they were unsure, but as ever they were very accommodating, a rear panel was laid up for me and I collected it a month later, the panel has been sat in the corner of a room ever since, until now!
Another panel that's been niggling at me is the rear diffuser, I don't require the exhaust cut out and felt it spoiled the look of it, so I've repaired it with a gelcoat and fibreglass
I've also finished dressing up the bumper to get the clean look I was after.
These are just teaser photos, I've still got to finish the boot lid and light cluster on the rear panel. Prep the rear diffuser for polyester blocking. The bumper and front panel are finished.
The door skins are all dressed up to the rear quarter and front wing for both sides, door gaps are sorted, the wing to A pillar is all blended in
I've lowered the trim line on the rear quarter by the Pininfarina badge, I referenced some photos in my library which seemed to show the panel join to be about 5mm lower.
Having some me time has really progressed the car along nicely, although there's still loads to do
