Top project there, love the colour - looks like youv'e got a great finish on it too. Surf blue was on my short list, really fab colour, but Speedwell won it. Good to see a comprehensive resto diary with loads of great pics. Looking forward to seeing it go back together.

I have one well two questions

how did you align the inner wings and what is the new bracket on the bulkhead.

Thanks for all the kind words, it really helps with keeping going

I took plenty of measurements to ensure the inner wing was in the correct place. The new bulkhead bracket is to hold the fuel cut off switch for the injection system.

Spraying has been hard work and I've still got to flat it back and polish. If your going to do it then prep, prep, prep again and take your time as its very stressful knowing you can balls its all up at the final hurdle

The final few parts done this weekend

Now I just have to put it back together without scratching it
