A bit more progress on the black 24v. It’s been a bit slow due to certain other things going on at the moment, but we are getting there with fingers tightly crossed it’s going to be ready for Fest. The side skirts are now on and moulded into the body work and all the cladding holes in the doors have been welded, filled and smoothed out.

The rear spoiler and US headlamp covers have been dealt with and painted. The rear bumper is now the next bit to handle and it’s not a pretty sight at the moment as it has been hacked about quite badly and we are trying to get the corners the right shape due to that missing bottom part.

The bonnet has been painted, but unfortunately it has a few water bubbles in it so this has now got to be flatted down again and redone. Believe it or not this bonnet was so bad it took almost a litre of paint.

Looking at the car today from the side view it’s definitely going to need lowering a couple of inches, maybe with a set of 30mm springs, but I’m just not going to have the time to get this done before Fest.

Thanks everyone for following the progress of the transformation, it’s appreciated.
