    Love this build - keep up the great work and updates.

    I agree about viewing the site on an iPhone - it's shite. I think it's because the site isn't optimised for phones and tablets - pretty sure that it will be something that has to be addressed by the company or people who maintain the site.

    Also so agree about uploading photos - that photo uploader is a pain.

    Looks like the site is back to how it was! Maybe our requests didn't fall on deaf ears

    Please keep persevering with uploading the photos - it gives us more insight into your great project

    Cheers

    There are several reasons

    1-Ha ha - I'm an idiot

    2- I didn't realise

    3- Persian rug syndrome

    I don't think I can be bothered to change them now so the reason is they are stronger this way.
    Also who's to say its wrong if this is car no1 in a production run of 1

    Thanks for pointing it out

    Cars booked in for media blasting Monday so spent this morning getting it loaded up .
    Because of the wheelbase of the stand I made it had to go on trailer.
    Once on the trailer it looked a bit unsafe so I added a couple of cross braces to strengthen it up

    Cracking build, great read and good to see something different being done to a mk2 as she will be some beast.

    Thanks for the comments -

    A few photos of yesterday's work fitting n/s rear tub, spare wheel well and arch lip.
    The bulk of the work is done just some gaps to fill where all the panels meet at the lower part.
