Found these markings on the drivers side after cleaning all the dust and debris off.. It's from the vari mould s I've been told.
The number denotes which vari body tub mold was used.
Did not know about that before, very interesting

Got a little more done today, but small progress. sprained ankle and back issues made it a bit of a pain to get more done..

Got to clean up the front end a bit more and make it a little more respectable at least..

2 more of the impact absorber bolts retapped, 2 more to go

Wing rivets all need replacing or thread cleaning m5x 0.8 thread
