I started in June 2019 and have made a 1.8 Turbo Mid engined Triumph Spitfire. As of the 15 June 2020 the metal work is just about finished, now to start getting the body super smooth and painted..

I decided to bite the bullet and do a talk about my cars, especially the Spitfire. Yikes!

The door was rotten, so I cut the rot out and replaced with new metal, here are some pictures of the process..


I’m running out of things to do, all the welding is done, electrics done. The doors are repaired, exhaust exit covered, indicators fitted, lights working, loom connectors fitted and gm to Audi Fuel sender adapter in a little box with a led :) Just bondo and sanding (then paint)

It's good to see someone modifying a triumph - the time put into sorting the panel gaps has paid off!

What a transformation! If Triumph were making cars today I could see them building something like this.

You really are an artist with the welder. Looks like a modern version of a classic design. Well done!
