Here's another Friday teaser. Door panels now on dry fit, again getting everything fitting right is the key before permanent fit.

Coming on well there 'kalifornia'....

Can I ask why you "Blur" out the background of your pictures...?  It really does distract from what your suppose to be looking at (well for me it does, especially the colour your using..... It's too close to the current colour of your panels.) IMHO... :-[

Well, done, and keep the pictures coming.. it's very interesting

Probably too many naked lady posters on the walls needed to be blurred out  ;)

Another beast in the making. Going to be a fantastic car.  How long will it be at the painters for?  Also any pic update on the aero lot?

I glad The Kalifornia has gone to paint.  I can get the bits done that we missed so I could get to Brands.  :-)
Not all problems can be solved with gaffer tape.  For those there is WD40.
Not even gaffer tape can fix stupid, but it can mask the sound.

If you can’t buy it or steal it you have to make it.

Colour combo is going to be a surprise, you all will have to wait until its done.
The painters will take around 2 to 3 weeks to turn it around, then I just need to finish the little fiddly bits, such as headlights, wheel spacers etc..

It would be great if I could get it back just before Christmas as I will have two weeks of work, so I would have it finished and driving it to work in January.
