The task of repairing the bodywork is progressing well. Although this car came from the US and the bodywork was mostly rust free, the boot floor had deteriorated badly. The boot floor was cut out completely and a floor from a donor shell fitted. The only other areas of rust were the sills, both sides and due to humidity these seem to have sweated and rusted from the inside out. Both sides have been completely replaced. |

At some stage, like most sports cars, this car had had a frontal accident and been poorly repaired. The front shroud was cut away so the inner panels could be repaired correctly and a new radiator duct panel fitted. The damage to the front shroud panel was repaired and once everything was lined up by trial fitting the front wings, the panel was fully welded back into place. |

The body shell was completely painted underneath along with the boot and engine bay. |  |
||
| The body was then fitted to the chassis for the final time. The outer panels, bumpers and windscreen frame etc were checked for final fit before the complete body shell was painted with an epoxy undercoat. Work can now begin preparing the complete car for its top coats of paint. |  |
