just a small update got a new engine hoist there today so hoping both engines will be out by the wk end , spend most of the day today getting the front lined up and trying to get the gaps good ended up having to cut a re fiberglass the p/s wing cause just wasnt fitting good at all everything is fitting good now so hopefully after its painted it ll go back the same but never no with poxy fiberglass




got the wings dolphin glazed and blocked so should get rid of any ripples and low spots


few pics of the gaps between wings bonnet bumper not to bad for all fiberglass parts bumper still needs small bit of work and the end of the wings
