Im going to redo the screen surround/scuttle, as it sits too high, so doesnt look right when i put the door panel against it, other than that, heres another pic ;)

Thats a 4 pint milk bottle to show the size of the car


And i picked up a set of 8 of these wheels, so tempted to build a 1/4 scale metro after the pick up ;)

Its gonna be a clubman pick up now, with a steel front end, be easier than trying to make a round nose wings and front panel from steel! (1 day ill make a round nose for it, as the front end im making removeable for access for repairs!)

This is amazing can't wait to see the finished project :). I'm following this.

[olds_kool_lews]

No updates yet, few bits i need to sort out with the screen surround/scuttle, then i can crack on with the front bulkhead area and then finally the front end/suspension area, then all it is is engine, electrics and paint ;)

You've made me the happiest little boy in all of England! 

Could you made a fibreglass flip front or would that be cheating?

[olds_kool_lews]

Thats my plan ;) hence the 'plug' ive made of a mini front end that ill use to make a mold from, then i can make as many front ends as ill need

[Gremlin]

Got a picture from the front with everything on/in place?
