Been to see the painter and he has kindly painted over most of the front wing Tiger badge, 260 motif and final wing finisher holes on both sides, does anyway have a drawing or template of where they should go?

cheers

Made a drilling template which worked amazingly well.

Gun very similar to the sealey one I have used for years.i always used to drill extra drain holes.3 in the cills,1 at bottom of front wing and 1 in the front end of the rear wing.just so that any water that gets in there can drain out.i also used to inject wax oil thro these holes.

Got the bumpers on which was a start, next up the dynamat.

Bit of an update, been trawling through boxes seeing what i have and have not, then trying to find fasteners.

Dynamated the interior floor, takes a long time to do it nicely, making paper templates, stamping out the holes (helps to have a proper 2 in 1 punch kit) etc..think i will leave it there and if needed do the boot later.

Built up the front so she looks better with a face and put in the space age rocket ship reversing lights.

Next up is the hard lines and wiring, still pondering how to get the heavy rear suspension in with the front being light, thinking of using my dead Triumph 6 pot block as an anchor at the front to stop the car flipping up on the stands.
