I might do a write up for the club mag if anyone else is daft enough to try it.

Why did you not cut the top section behind the vent?

I have done both sides

It is much quicker when you do the second side :thumleft:

It never occurred to me :oops:

I'm planning to cut just below the curve from the roof line.

Not to worry mate, am sure you'll get there.

These things take time to do properly.

Just to make you feel better I've got 1 quarter, 1 set of repair panels, both sills and 1 front wing to sort, and thats after the job of stripping the engine and changing the headgaskets thats just been done.

Oh and finding a new rad and front bumper bar.

Your project will be easy :)
