Still struggling with body panel alignment

We have worked on a number of things in the last couple of days, but it's relatively slow.

We stuck the demister air distributor onto the back of the scuttle using some tiger seal. Hope it's in the right place, as have seen others struggle later with windscreen wiper boxes.

And we have done the fiddly work of completing the wiring on all of the lamps at the rear.

We have adjusted the position of the reversing light a little by widening the hole at the top and putting some tiger seal at the bottom - crude but seems to work.

Here you can see Chrissy completing the convoluted tubing runs around the wiring...dressed in the total protective clothing of one strappy top!

We have also taken some advice from Mark on the body panel problems and made a little progress but not really solved our two issues. We clamped the nosecone to the bonnet in the garden, off the car, this showed that we did indeed need to remove a little more of the offside bonnet inner lip, but even doing that we aren't getting a great fit. The sides can be made to line up, but the top has a bit of a step in it, and can't see any way of resolving that.

Still planning to go the Wedtfield Thames Valley club meet tomorrow to see what others have done (now that's what real kit car building - research in a pub!)

The car looks misleadingly headed towards completion, but we still have

to take the body off again to tidy up underneath it and cut the exhaust pipe hole out.
