Hello guys and gals, sorry its been a while since i've last updated.

Finally after spending roughly 3k on it and having sailed through its MOT problem free the SE9 is finally on the road :D:D:D. I couldn't be happier with the ammount of work and time spent im still amazed at the state the cally was in when i brough it 14 months ago to how it is now. There are still a few jobs and things left to do but the hard part is finally over :).

Ill let the pictures do the talking :).

Before:-

Things left to do:-

Body work to mop and polish.
Underneith the bonnet to spray.
Chrome bonnet lifters.
Crack in rear bumper to repair.
Door mirrors to respray.
O/S rear door card to repair.
Vibe QB69's and CD changer to fit.
Heater slide knob to fit.
Gear leaver and handbrake gaiters to fit.
Lowering kit.
Painted brake calipers.
and a few other things i've probably forgotten lol

This should all be done by the time the show season begins :). I would like to say a big thank you to everybody whose helped me through the rebuild :D. I really appreciate it :).

I hope you guys like her :)
