Finally got all the panels back on for final fitment, front clip went back on with a minimum of fuss to. A few adjustments and some minor modifications later and all done. Really happy with how they all sit, with all the shut lines and gaps pretty much spot on :thumbsup: :thumbs:

Another box ticked in this very long rebuild. After all the metal work has now been complete, the whole underbody was high fill primed, painstakingly sanded back and smoothed out and a couple of fresh coats of satin black layed down. Subframe is next, which will see some colour.
