    Cheers Tony. Got them out. In classic form the one I wanted doesn't have central locking. So having to paint strip the one in the above pic and reinstall it. Not so bad. If I sanded on door I know id have made a dog's dinner of the door so least there's that lol

    First time out of the garage in about 9 months. Blood sweat and alot of swear words and giving off later and we are on 4 wheels again. Unreal. Had to just get her out into sun and sit in her for 20 mins for the pure cod of it. Been a long time coming!

    Sills finally sprayed, clear coats and wet sanded down to 5k grit and polished. Can hopefully start the body build tomorrow or Thursday then all I need is the front wings. (I'm correct in thinking I can put sills and all on then wings can be last thing placed on?)

    Got the brake lines done and the rear sub all tightened up. Had a bit of issue with one of the brake lines. Had to repipe and reflare but all good now. Looked to see what was left to do and what can be done. Got the rear bumper back on and lights in. Lovely seeing that booty back again...
