That is going to look quite a beast when fully fitted up.

Aero catches to stop the bonnet coming up in my face
Front and rear screens, plus side glass are all in, seat is bolted in, brakes are bled, ready for wheels to go on hopefully for the last time.

More done this arvo, seat, harness, extinguisher and roll cage padding all fitted, door panels, window rubbers and glass installed, inside door panels fitted, headlights aligned, gave it a bit of a vacuum out, and drove it home. Not too bad, there’s a nasty rattle coming from the rear that needs checking, but otherwise really good, easy to drive, loads of power, brakes are starting to bed in too, idle and mixtures need to be reset, but overall very happy!

Very nice. I've had a few V8 projects back in Australia. The last one I never got to finish before moving back to the Uk, so having just acquired another one here in the UK, I'm eager to get stuck in.

Do you have any pictures under the bonnet to show the bonnet pin position? Looking to do the same thing to mine
