Great looking project. There seems to have been a boom in the number of estate projects just lately, especially clubmans. Looks like an interesting project so good luck with it.

Wow, progress, looking good! Have you decided on colours yet?

Definitely surf blue up top, just playing around on photoshop to figure out how to get the colours to sit right, without the divide of the panel it's hard to pick a two tone design that works so may be something completely different to what people are expecting haha!

Let us know if you figure out how to get the windows to work!

Cheers Scott, hopefully it will be, he promises to be with all the work he is giving my dad to get started on. Hopefully nip home soon to get stuck in.

looking good. I to am looking into setting in the side windows on my estate i currently have black perspex with the frames but i am trying to workout a way of fillting them in without the frame.

I think I know how to do it, but actually doing it will be the proof! We'll need to get the glass cut to size, then once we've painted it...

Hollz, I'll send you the dimensions of the glass then you can research suppliers.

Aye aye Cap'n B! Mail me a list of things I need to do and research. RE your text about calling people - mum needs to remind you I run on free text messages!

It's a rollover!!

So in preparation for my return Friday, PapaB and my brother kindly rolled Stitch over. Now you can see the magnitude of the task we have!

Hmm looks mighty rusty under there, I'd highly recommend getting a pair of full length floor pans from M-Machine.

Dreaded oversills, dont look too far gone though, certainly a fair amount of work.

hmm rust ive got sum of that on my project, sill's disintegrated when we wheeled it into the garage and i sat in and my feet fell through the floor on both sides lol but at least yours is salvageable

We have a rather ridiculously long list of panels to get!
Some of the panels are alright but we're taking a "might aswell do it all" approach to this one!

Holy moly macaroni!!!

Umm... all I can say is good luck!

Interesting brake line routing!

Ooooh progress!!!! Is this the first time you've seen the bottom of it? Looks like it needs a bit of work but i have faith! Always keep the faith!!!

[HollyBaby]

Getting worried but mostly because dad is taking on a majority of the bodywork alone while I'm away at uni, I have been assured it can be done. Though we may have to completely start fresh with a whole new floor panel. Wasn't happy to hear the price but Stitch needs to be looked after properly!

I'd second getting a pair of 1/2 floors from mini-machine. Don't bother with the hadrian/magnum panels, they're crap.

I used them on Stinky and they were excellent

What you can't see from the pics is that there is also a join in that brake line halfway along the floor!
