Nice work mate, the bumper mounts look great.  That dimple tool makes things look semi factory and so neat.

That’s me for the long weekend, 4 days straight on it I ‘m stuffed!!  Got the passenger floor in, took a bit to get it right around the A pillar.  Then also used the donor wheel well Cooped kindly gave me to repair the front section of it.  They were pretty good just needed some new metal around the edges.  It’s all in, haven’t fully finished welding and smoothing it off but very happy with the progress.  Also over the weekend decided to make myself a mount for my small sheet metal stuff so I don’t have to keep swapping things in the vice.  Happy days!

That’s the passenger side dogleg done.  Big job, on/off/on/off.  Got there in the end.  Reckon I might keep going on this side and do the floor and also the top above the door repair.  Also got the hinge someone kindly donated, and with a bit (lots) of heat got it freed up and the pin out without damaging it

Bloody hell mate, I don’t get on here for one day and it’s becoming an F1 car…  Can’t wait to see it on there.  Is there any way you can test it before, or is it a drive and see kind of deal?

Well that’s a wrap. Just so excited to see him with the new nose. Truthfully, in the end, went on easy. Anyone following along, my tip is spend all your time making sure everything underneath is spot on before actually fitting the nose. If you aren’t sure don’t fit it yet. Make it right. I must have had it on and off a dozen times tweaking and adjusting. When the time came to actually do it it was a snap. Big shout to Cooper too for the tip on doing the window frame and nose off the car! Happy days!!

Thanks IJ, yep certainly a bit of a milestone.  Can then remove the internal bracing too.
