some more holes(been plenty of them) and repairs.the wheels have been photo chopped(they are actual size with just the centres beening masked) but the ride hieght is for real.car looks awsome with the 19".have lowered it one more outer spline +raised it one inner spline.will lower front another spline tomorrow,but waiting for front tyres to come so cant set front ride hieght properly.this week will be all the body work and hopefully in premier by weekend,once this has been done and all the wheels are on then i will reveal how she looks.more to come

done a bit more tonight,there was a clearance problem at the rear of the arch on the tyre.to remedy the problem i cut the arch lip of and moved it backwards 55mm,thus stretching the wheel opening enough to clear the tyre.i then rolled the arch lip to gain even more clearance,lot of work,i bet no one will even notice it.more pics tomorrow

most of the rear window was rusted out at the bottom.
once all the bits were made and welded in this is how they looked
also smoothed the recess under the boot lid,and streched the other rear wheel arch.just the tubs to weld in the rear and a new rear valance.
cheers for all the comments it all helps to keep the project rolling on.more pics later in the week.

fantastic job and i see you are in the NW like me
look forward to seeing it.
nice to see another fastback saved from the grave, as it seems it needed quite a bit of work to put right.
