I'm toying with the idea either way, won't get to decide properly until they're sprayed & the mesh is in. Not sure at the mo'.

Thought I'd add an update as I'm now done for the year.

Didn't manage to get it on the road, big delays in getting the paint job done but I'm in no rush, I'll carry on in the spring. :)

Got a few odds & sods sorted over the last couple of months.

Replaced sunroof with one that works!

Image

Finished off the dash.

Image

Image

Got some of the priming work done on the bodykit & bought a bonnet extension (a bit unsure about that though, I'll wait & see what I think when it's painted up before I decide whether it stays or goes).

Image

Image

Image

A good wash later & it's 'night night' until the spring.

Image

There we go, that's that for the year. Just a leaking GSi to sort now. :roll:

It's catch 22 when you're relying on a mate to sort the paintwork. I've still got just under a litre of Mag Blue paint sitting at his bodyshop waiting, he's been so rushed off his feet recently that we couldn't find a mutual time to get it in & get it done (the MOT expired in the meantime).

I'll definately be getting the bumpers done soonish as I can get those to him in the back of the Veccy estate so I'll get those on, mesh them up, service in April when it's back out of my garage, MOT, tax then drive the car there for the rest. Once that's done it's just track rod ends, tracking & hey ho, go shopping for a V6 donor car! :D

A sneaky last peek as it really is tucked up for the year now.

Got the bumpers sprayed & meshed up & couldn't resist popping the front one on to see how it looks. Cool & the f*****g gang! :wink:

Lol!

I'm trying to tell myself "right, that's it now. Leave it alone until next year" but I get a feeling I may slide the rear one on as well in the next week or so. I'll call it "tidying", saves it being sat on the back of the car for the 3-4 months of course. :wink:

As for turning it round to do it, no chance. Battery is now buried in a warm cupboard in the house & it's a right pain getting that cover on & off completely in that small garage. I have a nice, silver strut brace sitting in my hallway that I can stroke as & when I feel the need for now. :D
