I concur with all above that bonnet really starts to make it look iconic.

Sorry for being late Peter, not very well at the moment.

This is coming along superbly, kudos on the paintwork and the build, lovely work!

Moving on a little bit further i have the rear body on as well as the floor.

The body has not yet been painted as it needs to set but one tip don't put the seats in before the body as it makes putting the body on easyer.

I have done a little more today some filling in on the body and some work on the dashboard and despite the age are perfectly usable i have put some detail on such as a starter button and some fuel lines under the fuel taps.
