Once the fiberglass arch was removed, and the wing was cleaned up of about 3 kilos of filler, I offered the arch up to it, and it wasnt as bad a fit as the other side, but where the previous guy cut the wing to fit the glass arch, he cut a huge appeture, so i had to make an infill to fill the gap at the top.

but once i put the wing back on, the trailing edge had twisted, and where it twisted inwards, it increased the panel gap by around 3 mm, but then the gap was garbage anyway, so now instead of closing the gap by 3mm, i have to close it by 6...no bigge.

Well I beated the wing into submission, it now follows the same flat as the rest of the cars profile, it still wants a little wrestling around to get it lined up, , but once in place that gaps are even, but horrendous.

the gap between the door and the quarter are fine,



when the wing is lifted to align the swages, the gap does become even, honestly, but check out that horrendous gap

and, the ""Sexiness" continues

Your project is coming on leaps and bounds!
What's the countdown clock for first trial run set at?

Unknown, will be getting it running on sunday, and next week I'm going to strip it to a shell so i can weld up all the nooks and crannies....suppose it should see a show or 2 at the end of the season?

Make sure you post up what you will be taking it to and when, i HAVE to see this for myself!

Due to malicious people on other forums, I won't be advertising where I'm going to be in it, but I'll pm you
When I know where I'm gonna be in it

This project is awesome. I'm so glad that the PC forums are back, this was one thread that I kept checking to see the rapid progress made. Bubs, you have some seriously good skills, and I can't wait to see the finished car - at the rate you're going it won't be too long, you've done so much in such short a time.

I liked that, so I gave it a tick on youtube and left a comment.

After reading of your progress since you started posting on the previous forum it's great to see and hear the beast breathing at last.

didnt breath for long, looked like this 40 minutes later
