The work of the Master Bodywork Engineer has always been a great source of interest to me, particularly at such a high level as portrayed here – thanks for posting the link!
They must be pretty on-the-ball if the repair of vacuum-formed composite panels can be undertaken.
Not trying to sound rude, but – considering the calibre of the cars and work performed, they really should spend what amounts to a few beers’ worth of cash and employ a proof-reader for the site.
It's good to see a firm showing off minute details in photos - nothing to hide there!

Yes, I noted the typo's.
I'd imagine that this site was put together in-house rather than farmed out to an agency so the typo's sort of excusable, however I hear where you're coming from.
I wish I had the talent to carry out 'any' of those jobs on my classic. My forte is research in restoration work and leaving the rest to professionals. I tend to be rather perdantic when it comes to quality of work so do not mind employing professionals as and when to carry out any work.
Re the GTO, my opinion is that until you see one in the flesh you do not realise how good looking the car is.
At last years Goodwood FOS a friend had one pull up behind him in the public parking area. The owner just closed the door and walked away without locking the car. To my friends eyes the car did not look right and initially thought is was a replica until he walked over to the car and saw what turned out to be a collection of Le Mans competitor slips. This car was a genuine short wheelbase factory race car worth many millions!
I suppose there's no need to lock such a car, it's not as if anyone could steal it.

Would a GTO even have door locks to begin with?

Now you have a point there Nick!
Regarding the previous poster comment re 'over restoring' I personally agree with applying modern paint prep and products to have a longer lasting finish, why not?
I agree with you and hope it is raced - in anger.
