Hi Chris,
The body is a total loss - it ended up in several pieces, so no reusing it. Luckily, like you, I had gotten a couple of spare parts, so as to experiment to see if I could cutout the rear hatch and hinge it so as to open and close.

Greetings. Just a couple of update pictures - engine bay and a picture of Colin's Radiator fan. Would have been hard to get a shot of once the top tanks was added. Excuse the bubble wrap - protecting the paint on the floor pan.

Hello Gilles,
While I have not done a great deal of working with resin, I can say, that the first dash piece from the Jaguar, granted, I had a couple of spots that did not cure properly, the sections that did cure right, have not dulled at all, and that was easily well over a year ago. Granted, I ...
