I'm leaving filling / fibreglass / painting to do it all at once.

I have a few areas that need going over with the grinder to neaten it up.

Well pleased with todays progress but still a fair amount to do. Some areas of the drivers foot well and the front clip.

I was reading up on the MOT the other day (funny that, with my MOT being the other day) and as far as I can tell, the law just requires it to be "secured" - it doesn't actually state how. String should actually be legal.

Having said that, your cable ties do seem to be a teeny bit flimsy... That bit of channel/box section should be more than man enough though!

Not sure if they are identical fitment wise to Samurai panels but this one catches on the radiator and the binnet catch doesn't seem to line up. Gonna have a mess about with it tomorrow incase its just not sat right b

I love 410 grilles, but I also liked your red wings - they suited it! I like the red/black/yellow thing. Was cool.
