Lovely finish on the exhausts.

A little more progress.
The engine lid mounted brake cooling snorkels were too horizontal so added 2 mm card to base and sanded the trailing edge back to original level with gentle slope to the front thereby raising the opening 2 mm - hard to see in the photo.
Tarted up the oil filter housing which was open and made provision for connectors and hoses later. filedata/fetch?filedataid=255470

Carefully opened the louvre vents on the roof and busy now opening the air intakes on the side of the engine clamshell.
Thanks for looking and the reactions and comments.

Resurrection of an old thread and a build put on the back burner for numerous reasons.
After many many hours of drilling, filing, fillng and sanding I eventually got some paint on the chassis/ monocoque.
Opened up all 4 vents on the engine cover and the roof vents. Drilled and filed out the rear spoiler adjustment slots, applied numerous missing rivets on the engine clamshell and dry fitted various bits and bobs. Feel like I am getting somewhere at last some 120 hours into the build.

Great to see this back in the spotlight Stefan. Classic motor car and looking very good indeed.

Thanks all for the positive comments, there is still alot to do and many hours of masking, painting and dealing ahead but am determined to finish it to the best of my abilities.
