Sorted the problem thanks guys. Turns out the garage was too cold for it to set so a heater has fixed that. I'm gonna use 1 to 2 layers of fiber sheet then layer that fiber reinforced filler onto it to shape it exactly how I want it. Also factory hsv headers won't fit which sucks so I'll probibly cut them down or try find some block hugger. I was at Harman brothers today as Well dropping off my ecu and loom for them to sort so I can start it woo whoo :burnout:

Sorry there hasn't been any updates I've been sick so havnt touched her. This weekend I got back into it and started by layering the rear bar with fiber filler so I can start sanding it. Next up I removed the battery tray because I was worried about rust, turned out to be pretty good just surface stuff. Then I took the dash out for Painting. I also got sick of paint prepping so I wired in the control stalk from my other car into this one because I prefer the way it looks. Oh and I got the start of the transmission mount made up.
