Great to see you're still making progress Darren, I'm very jealous, I've got nothing done since I moved

Good work Darren!

looking good, over the hill by the looks of things

Cheers people glad to see your all still observing

Front end all glassed back together and new drl/indicators located

I think the front still has enough curve to look almost standard

[bluemini17]

looking sharp, few hours of body work and ready for paint?

You are making a nice job of the flip front Darren.

 

I have never been a fan of them partly because of the fit but you seem to be putting in all the extra work to make it fit well.

Thanks for the positive comment!!

So still plugging away

Aero catches fitted just need to weld some brackets to the subframe for the pins and the grill now bolts on and the arches fitted and cut so the front is ready for paint prep along with doors and boot




Now moved on to the dash and after drilling the first hole



Never done it before right down between the nail with a hss steel but oh well glove on to stop it getting dirty and crack on



And so far the dash is coming along

I'm always doing stuff like that to my hands Darren. I usually tend to favour a load of 1" masking tape to seal it all in before continuing.

 

Coming on great though.

 

When do you hope to have it painted?

It turned out OK but the glass is all in a bad way I must of hit it with some grinder spark before I decided to wrap it up so the surface is not smooth
