Thanks folks!!

Yes they are all hand made, I am going to be doing scuttle corners for mk1 2, n 3's

Mk3 front panels at this stage are a little out of reach space and time envolved I just don't have as yet.

I am in the process of doing mk1 front panels also I have been asked to a mk2 one so we will see how they turn out.

Tho I have done things like this steel X-pack front spoiler

Image

Image

And started to make this Rs31 style front spoiler

Image

Headlamp bowl repair sections


Image

Image

Image

Image

Top section made

Image

I have done mk3 front sections as well if you would like to see em I can easy post up more pics if ya not bored yet LOL

I was considering making steel X-Pack wings for my project. The only thing holding me back now is my lack of ability.
