Today, with a day off work, I managed to spend the full day on the car getting parts mocked up and just generally checking out the car!! Check out the photo's below!
First picture as the car came off the trailer!
On the driveway about to pushed in the garage as I had to go to work!

This is how the rear T handle has been mounted, done so the handle hasn't been cut down and also it gives a resting point on the valance so when the dzus fasteners are removed the decklid doesn't come flying off!
Dzus mounting bracket for the decklid, also makes the decklid stand off.
Rear view of the valance, you can see the mounting points for the decklid and also the dzus fasteners for holding the valance on..
These are the dzus fastneres which act as support brackets for the rear valance. The set-up is really strong and there is no movement from the rear end.
The valance is bolted on the sides to the rear wings which allows the whole rear end to come off like this! This makes for really quick access to the engine if required! It does take 2 people to remove if your wondering.
Another one of Chris' ideas! Instead of welding tabs onto the body he made this strip which is bolted the body along with the wing beading and then of course the wings are dzus fastened onto this! The main reason for this was to not have to mess about with the wing beading everytime the wings came off.
To the front and the fibreglass bonnet has also been dzus fastened on..
Front end all on..
We mocked up a few things today..
Looking like a car again! Yes the front end needs narrowing and lowering some more!!
