The assembled bodyshell has had the doors refitted and the upper windscreen and rooflights fitted. The joint between the upper and lower sections of the dashboard has been fitted, sanded and repainted as it is visible through the windscreen
After Jaguar acquired Daimler (1960) they decided to fit Daimler's revered 2.5 litre V8 engine into the Jaguar MkII bodyshell. In doing so they produced one of the most desirable saloons of the 1960s, and in its seven year production run almost 18,000 were sold (an average of nearly 50 a week). Early models were badged as the 2.5 litre, with later cars (1967+) called the V8-250. Personally, I think this is one of the best looking British saloons of all time.

The 340R is a special edition of the Lotus Elise. Just 340 were built, and all were sold before they were manufactured. It uses a custom built bodyshell with no roof or doors. All cars came with a silver and black colour scheme. Special A038R tyres were developed for the 340R in collaboration with Yokohama.
While road-legal in the UK, most of the surviving cars are used for racing, track use, or demonstrations..

The bodyshell selectively painted. After the grey primer, white primer and white topcoat were applied to the lower panels, upper deck panels, back section of the roof and rear panel under the lower deck window. The bits that need to stay white will be masked off after work tomorrow, and excess spray dust on other panels will be removed with wet-and-dry. The bits that need to be red will be re-primed grey with two top coats of red. The yellow panels will be done last. I think, at the moment, that the red waistband that separates the yellow and white will be done as a decal - had the beading above and below it been red, then different story... All comes down to ease of masking, and there are too many of those rivets to risk paint being blown under the tape.
Here's a couple pictures of my original 1970 Meyers Manx fiberglass Dune Buggy. The kit car was built using the Manx bodyshell coupled with the VW Volkswagen Beetle bug frame and 1500 engine.
1/32 resin slot car Morris Oxford MkIII 1955 Monte Carlo rally driven by Edwin Lambert & Norman Millican to 263rd place. PSR modified resin bodyshell, PCS32 chassis and aluminium rims with resin inserts.
An interesting Ford Model A hot rod, at least some parts of it are Ford Model A LOL, definitely a good looking build... The specs of the bodyshell - based on a 1930 Model A, 1932 Model A rails, on the front end a 1940 Chevrolet hood and 1941 Terraplane grille...
A trip to the huge River City Classics car show, at least 1250 cars were registered! Always the biggest show of the year in southern Alberta...
D1705 built as a Class 47 with a difference. A 47 bodyshell and a Sulzer 12LVA24-type engine, resulted in a Class 48 classification. Refitted with a standard engine in 1969, this turned her the loco into a 47.

A series of photographs documenting the release of GB Railfreight's Class 92, 92 044 "Couperin" from the Wabtec Brush works at Loughborough. 044 had spent exactly 14 months there for overhaul, reliability mods and new wheelsets. The assisting locomotive was a fellow Brush Traction machine, Class 60, 60 002 "Graham Farish 50th Anniversary 1970-2020".
The 60 had also been out of traffic for more than a year after a turbo fire. The Covid-19 pandemic had delayed repairs and then some additional mods were done as well as its immaculate repaint - the first GBRf loco repainted at DB Cargo's Toton depot.
This was the 60's first working for GBRf after its long spell in Toton and also its first run on the main line sporting its recently received new name commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Graham Farish.
This was also the first time two of GB Railfreight's Brush "cousins" - the Class 60 and Class 92 - had been together. The locos share a common bodyshell design, built by Procor in Wakefield, and have other similar components.
Potentially most historically of all, though - with the subsequent announcement the Brush Traction works are due to close by the end of the year - there's a good chance this was the last time a Class 60 will visit the place where the 100-strong class were built in 1989-1993.
GB's sole active grey 92 had lost its tunnel rings and Crewe Electric depot plaques whilst in Brush, but there are rumours of a new livery to come in due course. However, that won't be before it gets back to earning some coin for its owners (and DB!) with a brief visit to Crewe for a test run, before heading to Dollands Moor to resume tunnel duties.
60 002 ran from Toton as 0Z60 08:45 Toton TMD to Loughborough Brush, then moved 92 044 to Crewe ETD on 0Z61 09:58 Loughborough Brush to Crewe ETD, before the 60 then ran on solo to resume biomass duties on 0Z62 13:09 Crewe ETD to Tuebrook Sidings.

Doncaster Railway Station South Yorkshire Virgin East Coast Japanese Hitachi Azuma Train passing the EMPTY factory where Sir Nigel Gresley used to build the finest BRITISH Steam Trains in the world. Virgin Trains should be ashamed at buying Foreign Trains.
VTEC plans to take delivery of its first four Azumas from Hitachi in 2018. The Class 800 Super Express is a type of electro-diesel train to be used in the United Kingdom based on the Hitachi A-train design. They have been built by Hitachi. These trains are being assembled at the Hitachi Newton Aycliffe facility from bodyshells shipped from the Kasado plant in Japan; NO body construction takes place in the UK.
A Trainspotting Nightmare these Japanese trains have NO NUMBERS. To add insult to injury they have Japanese writing. Shame on VTEC
999600 is seen at Leeds in as delivered livery. It was a purpose built Track Recording unit built in a Class 150 bodyshell. It is seen with it's permanent partner 999601.
For those in the know this is a Tamiya standard Hornet fitted with Super Hornet Wheels and Bodyshell. . . . . .

47525 was removed from traffic in November 1997, and was to linger around for quite a while, with visits to Wigan CRDC and WCRC's base at Carnforth on the cards before finally being sent to EMR's scrapyard at Kingsbury where the bodyshell was scrapped in August 2010.
GBTG Pool 60 047 'SCAFELL PIKE' and DCRO Pool 56 103 head north through Huntingdon, working 0Z60 from Willesden to Colwick, on Saturday September 7th 2024.
60 047 was built by Brush (with her bodyshell assembled by Procor), entering service in February 1991. She is now operated by GBRf.
56 103 was built at Doncaster, entering service in December 1981. She worked in France between November 3rd 2005 - November 17th 2006, when she was withdrawn. She is now operated by DC Rail.

One of Doncaster's curious oddities. This Class 321 Driving Trailer bodyshell was built as a spare after 321420 was rebuilt following the 1996 Watford Junction crash using the only existing spare. Fortunately, there has been no need for this spare to have been used. The bodyshell is currently in First Great Eastern livery for which it was used as a trial before the livery was applied to the Class 360s. First Great Eastern finished operations in March 2004 proving just how long this oddity has been stored in an ever deteriorating state.
The Seismic Tractor Unit with the Survey Buggy in the background for scale. the basic bodyshell is completed, after final detailing the trailer with the "Bombs" will follow.

Standing outside The Pie & Piston is Dave Eaton's wonderful creation, the Icon 917. Starting with a bodyshell mould of David Piper's 917K-010, Dave and John Hartland have spent 8 years recreating this marvellous car that has always been intended to run on road and track. Fully IVA-compliant, it has a 3.6 flat-six engine with 280bhp and is only distinguishable from the original by small details necessary for it to run on the road. There is another car in the pipeline for collaborator John Hartland, and for more details see the comprehensive article in the July 2019 issue of Octane magazine.

The body shell already has a cavity in the license plate light; part of the molding process.
All that was needed to illuminate the license plate was to drill a hole and mount a 0805 size SMD LED.
Later we painted the inside and outside black, which got rid of the stray light shining through the plastic.

The 280SE came in two-door Coupe or Convertible form, but could still seat five people in comfort. Mercedes slipped a 3.5 litre V8 engine into the earlier 2.8 six-cylinder bodyshell and simply added a 3.5 badge on the back so we could tell the difference. The 3.5 litre V8 engine was a brand new unit introduced in 1969 and nearly all such cars had automatic gearboxes. They also had power steering and a very high level of equipment. With 230bhp available they were good for 130mph despite their size, but no-one dared ask about the fuel consumption. Today they are rare and highly desirable - hence the £50,000 asking price for this LHD example at the 2012 NEC Classic Car Show.

The infamous ZT 260 with the 4.6-litre V8 engine from the Ford Mustang and rear-wheel drive, but the same bodyshell as the standard FWD ZT as MG Rover supposedly spent so much money on re-engineering the floorpan to fit this drivetrain that there wasn't enough left for a new body.
