The day was spent stripping underseal from the underside of the car followed by strengthening the driver s side rear wheel arch. This can be seen in the photo below. The plan for tomorrow is to turn the car over and do the same to the passenger side wheel arch. Once the body is turned over I will also be able to finish fixing a few other spots that need attention on the underside of the car. Hopefully with a few more days work I’ll be able to temporally fit the shell back onto the chassis. This will enable me to work on the rear wheel arches and trial fit the doors and bonnet. I’m still not sure what I’m going to do about the rear wheel arches yet but I think I’ve possible just had an offer that I can go and take a mould of someone else s Marcos. If this works out this will be the way to go as it will be far cheaper than buying a rear wing from Marcos Heritage Spares and more accurate than just guessing what the correct shape should be.
