More work on the shell

This weekend has been very productive in work on the body shell. Passenger side now looks really good with the sill in place and door nicely fitted. Rear seat deck has also been repositioned (again!) but fits much better now. I've also spent time tidying up the drivers side, cutting out the floor (door is welded in place!) and preparing for the removal of the inner rear wing as I have a full replacement panel.

I plan one more full day session with Bernard before Christmas but the plan is to have the shell completed and ready for paint preparation very early in the new year. And painting in the Spring. This gives me a shot (I think!) of getting her on the road by the summer! Maybe! Albeit as a rolling resto that will still need some work to things like the interior Trim (I have all the  original interior trim which is ok condition) minus the rubber matting which will probably be replaced with the original Carpet set from my 1967 Spitfire mk3.

Whilst talking about my MK3 Spitfire I'm very pleased to mention that I've now acquired a Fibrepair/SAH fastback roof . This will complement perfectly the car as she's already fitted with SAH engine tuning equipment and will have an SAH bonnet sometime next year! Thanks to Sifra Corver for the fastback! Very appreciated!
