Not much lately but the past week I decided to bend some sheetmetal into doortop covers similar to originals...

Also bent some more sheetmetal for the bottoms of heaterchannels..

Getting warmer outside and some dry weather so I decided to pull it out and dust off the fiberglass dust. Also installed one door for adjustment.

Second attempt on driver door. Had to do it all over as the hinges appeared to be moved out 5mm further...

Great work! Especially love the way you incorporated the S.B. front struts (and the work to mount the wide 5 discs), your Outcast badge (really diggin' that!), the custom 16" wide 5 wheels, the steering wheel, custom gauge work, and .... (sorry, everything you're doing here is just so off the charts cool!). I'm a replica Speedster owner and appreciate all you've done with your coupe shell. We're all waiting (I'm sure rather impatiently! ) for the next update. Al

First doorskin prefitted.. Yes, every part must be fitted on this scratchbuilt... Not exactly a go to the shop and buy the bolt-on average kit... Next time I'll glue the skin to the inner doorframe and hope that the door hinges are in correct position so the door turn free without scratching anywhere.....

Thanks!
Testfitted the Classic Mini wipermotor. Perfect match with pre-A wiperholes! I flipped one of the wipergearhouses so wipers will work opposite to eachother just as on real Pre-A's.

One year gone by and not much have happened... Well, made new slightly taller frontstruts with softer springrate. Now it actually have a suspension at front too.. Dropped it back on wheels yesterday and hopefully will get more done to it in a near future...
Also got the final wheels setup worked out now..

What a pitty to hear. May be you give it a second thought. We all lack enough time, but you have come this far. Don't give up, may be give it a break and pick up the work when circumstances allow again....?

Hebster, if you ever contemplate a small run of your "Outcast" grill badges, I'd love to have one for my Beck Spyder replica.
