Thanks for all the compliments, not a lot to show in photos but we did get the alignment and corner weights done , took a little longer than expected as Gerry had to machine some spacers
Finished up the windshield mounting tabs and we are making the front grille screen out of some stainless .
Still cleaning up some wiring , some switches need replacing and headlight covers are coming from Sascha in Germany .
Bought some parts from Jason in the UK , he saw the build thread and contacted me , so the forum has proved very helpful once again.

I ordered the factory door weatherstrip and we modified it to fit around the cage , turned out nice and the door fit is good.

Added some tabs on the side of the windshield

No the front fascia is from Matech in Germany , the Robertson Racing piece is quite a bit different

The Robertson car has more of an add on flare and more rounded lower edge , not sure if the GTR has a separate splitter or if it is one piece.
Thanks for the compliment on the side window trim , I have had to redo it twice to get it right.

It was a nice day here yesterday so I pushed the car out by the door to see how the colour looks outside

Finally got the wing back from the Body shop , poor painter had to spray at least 10 coats of clear , wet sanding created a lot of pin holes that resulted in numerous fisheyes .
In the end it turned out really nice
