The latest news on the spitfire and my progress so far
7/25/2020
A while ago I did the front arches on the car and I was advised on this group to use steel rod welded inside to make a straight edge, well thank you!!
I welded 6mm round rod inside the lip and using heat persuaded the lip to follow that line, came out really nice, with a skim of filler it’s looking great, I recon one more weekend of sanding then I can primer the car, can’t wait to see it in one colour (even if it is grey)
I’ve also bought a new turbo for it, should get that next week, pulled the induction pipes and they are full of oil

It's good to see someone modifying a triumph - the time put into sorting the panel gaps has paid off!

What a transformation! If Triumph were making cars today I could see them building something like this.

You really are an artist with the welder. Looks like a modern version of a classic design. Well done!
