Some ideas for my interior to give you a flavour of what the interior will look like... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230906/44361f3f5307718708b03091c8f3eb64.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230906/462aa87366cfa732cb71c11d1b51fb29.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230906/e7bade820480...

Further work on the wing top profile... More filling fitting and sanding... Bumpers, note very close fit to car and extended rear profile to give a linger bumper that was my compromise to not having body bumpers... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230906/a3243af44af5693ab26b0ce2c05c79aa.jpg https:...

Trim all black... Let the body prep begin... Had Ben round the tops of the headlights so was much closer to the profile of a real Pre A 356... Gutters looking really good. Thanks to Nigel for the special sanding blocks he leant me that helped significantly with the shape... Ben remade the door inner...

A few quick photoshops by my daughter as I did have a wobble on what colour to paint the car... the porsche lime green was a very close second... https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230906/c46c49fb446b6dbad5073c474f4c0e79.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230906/7b20d118dd9a445eee2823fe250ed29d....

The rear window restraints fitted... The trim going from chrome to satin black.... Under seat sub mounted behind the rear seats... Off ...

OK, so here it what I have been up to on the project since I last updated it...will add in a bunch of photos direct from my phone as it seems to be easier to do it that way now than to upload photos to FLIKR and then link them here. I fitted back seats with a few home made aluminium brackets, these ...

Well its been a while and progress has been very slow but not stationary largely because my garage at home is about to fall down and it has taken me 2 years to get permission to build a new Double garage which will be built in April May 2022.
