Just noticed looking at the reference pics, the fire wall has a brass edge on everyone I've looked at, don't know how I missed that, shouldn't be too hard to add

Lovely work fella I`d paint the trim it`s brass colour first then add it to the firewall surround.........some thin strip would work very nicely....but then i guess ya thought of this already HUH!

I thank you all kindly Boots it was easier to run a bit of paint around the edge, I have to think of the limitations with my hand before I take on bits that are fiddly Todays update, engine cover don't fit at all they are all crooked but hey ho, this is a learning curve so I'm not going to lose sleep over it Got a few finger prints to get rid of but my compound can shift them as I've already tried it

Looks good Ian , but it's a shame about the engine cover.

Thank you Paul.
The side you're looking at is the one that is crocked, the other side you wouldn't notice that much

Looks damn good mate, I've always struggled with gloss finishes but yours looks great.

Thanks mate I'm calling this done as it was a struggle to even finish it. The engine panels don't fit and the roof don't even go there, one side fits and the other is a big gap. It's sitting square with the windscreen but is very crooked along the seat at the back If you see this bag of poo for sale walk away, don't waste your money. I'm not even going to waste my time putting it in the loft, it'll be going in the bin

My daughter just told me it's not going in the bin, maybe I'm being a bit hard on myself
