I think you are doing a stunning job mate. One thing though. On the rear wheel arch, I see that there is a large flat area behind the wheel that does not look right to me but that is easy to smooth out. Or is that the way that the GT1 looks like? Does not look bad but just thinking of the normal Murcie.

Sorry, one more thing. You door glass? What is that from and what is the length like? I have to start thinking of that for my project.

Cheers

@ Notnilc20 - the car is on adjustable suspension i have the suspension set all the way down for security reasons as the car cannot be moved if anybody tried to rob it so the whole car has to be raised up 2-3 inches and the wheels don't rub.

Looks good peggyontherun,

quick question.  Looks like your tires would rub the fenders on bumps and turns?  Do you plan on doing some more trimming on the wheel wells or use different wheels/tires?  Good progress though.

@ notnilc20 - Its a hard job getting the doors to line up the door handle mechanism took me 15 hours to get it to work there was a gap but not that big so i just skimmed the panel and sand it back to get the right line a bit of work but will look right in the end.
I was putting it off as well but it has to be done so i just got stuck into it

fantastic.  how tough was it to get the door lines to line up with the rest of the body with the door gapped like that.  Mine is similar and I'm dreading the process later.  Thanks.  Your car is coming along great, keep it up.  Later.
