Before any final fit ups it may be best to get the body supported and squared up to ensure you do not build any twists or misalignments into it. Good luck with the build.

Hi Bill, thanks for the advice, it's appreciated, but at this stage the whole of the front is fairly rigid & isn't likely to take a twist or warp in any way around the grille area as the compound curves are very rigid. It was only put up on the tyres temporarily, and at the moment it's sat on the floor supported where nescessary .

It'll be coming into the workshop very soon & it'll be mounted to a jig to hold it all in place prior to any real structural modifications taking place.

cheers...Nige
