Yes and no... the car has been in the panel shop for a good couple of months now - possibly regretting saying that it could be a bit of "fill in" work for them. From the panel shop it will go to be etch primed then come back to me to have the cage built, then put together to make sure nothing further needs cutting/welding before being taken back to be painted.

Yes and yes. I wanted a good clean example to start with as it really helps in the long run - it didn't have to be quite as good as this but it ticked all the right boxes - plus I was tired of waiting for one
