    Looking great mate!!

    Not trying to be smart and I'm sure you've got it covered but just make sure all bolts,nuts, hex heads etc are positioned so they can be worked on when the car is complete......
    I only say this as someone that had to basically rebuild a car because the previous owner thought nuts, heads etc looked ugly and in their rebuild hid them from view...ie: in non factory spots that you can never reach once the engine is back in and the body is back on
    For example, all hose clamps and CV boots (n/a in your case)

    Thanks Blue victor, yes i do get annoyed when a clamp position just doesn't work well, or the effort to hide things starts to impact functionality. I'm trying for a show finish but happy with bolts where they need to be, in fact bolts done well, can look a real treat.
