Paint - Test panel fit

Quick update for any viewers....
Decided to do my first panel test-fit after running the brake & fuel lines in the trans tunnel and along the diff' (see below).
 




I also wired up the tail lights (LED's) and wrapped up the rear loom for wiring up the lights, but i also included some CAT-6 LAN cable for any future IP devices (like a camera) and some extra wiring to control fuel pumps, relays, remote trunk lock, etc.
So - I first fitted the diff, front suspension (yet again) and wheels....
 
Oh - and the seats as well so i could position the new hand-brake correctly. That being a console mounted unit that will be simpler and work heaps better than the dash mounted standard version.
As you can see below - it looks ok....

Thankfully, the bonnet fits really well as the rear edge has a custom curve in it now. It's hard to see here, but the mod's i did on the upper cowl changed the curve (higher in the middle) and it took a lot of work to re-curve the rear edge of the bonnet to match.

But all the panel gaps are pretty good now - so i have to be happy with that.

 Engine update shortly.
