Currently have this green MPI shell that I am rebuilding for the owner. Came to be as a stripped bare shell. All the usual kind of panels needed for an MPI - full front end, scuttle, sills, door steps, rear panel etc etc...

 

As it came in -

Scuttle panel and front end on. All lined up well with little messing around which was nice for a change -

I have been super busy most of this year so been a while since I updated this but have been getting there slowly with it.

 

Door steps, inner sills, seat crossmember, bottom of rear quarters, outer sills all replaced or repaired -

Been a while since I updated this but, hopefully by the end of this week the shell will be ready to go for paint. Underside protected with sills and valances body colour then a lot of rubbing down to strip the exterior to bare metal ready for filler work, seam sealer and some etch primer -

Thanks. Yeah I do usually put some red oxide primer on the fresh metal and welds mainly just to protect it before the shell gets painted.
