Before I start I have not yet welded in the frames and only screwed the panels on
When I am happy with all the shut lines and fitment I will then weld in the frames and start bonding on what panels need it
The Front Bumper and Wings will be bonded together and will be able to be removed as one panel

Welded the brackets to both hinges for the bonnet, then I cut off the excess metal.
Also cut and drilled the near side door lock panel for the lock

Spent all day on her today
Fitted the bonnet, made sure it was square to the car by measuring it off of the same places on both sides.
Thought this would help with the fitment of the wings
Had to lay the badge down for cosmetic reasons
Made up the Near Side door, I then fitted the inner wing and Near Side wing. I have welded in the wing strap to the front frame and suspension tower.
Next I fitted the rear wing. Not a bad fit but still need to tweak it here and there. It only has one screw at the bottom into the original wing, and two at the top into the roof.
There seems to be a bit of tension, where it touches the leg of the frame that goes in between the original rear wing and boot inner panel. Is this normal?
The frame is into the roof inner skin as low as it can possibly go.
This leg isn’t touching anything on the car. It has a 2mm gap, ready to be welded up.
I then temporary fitted the rear light panel and rear bumper, because I could
