Slowly !! You may as well be sprinting in comparison to me
I'm liking the tidy up jobs drew, they really make all the difference on a build.
Shame about the bumper though.
What's the story with this exhaust system you've got lined up, was expecting some update by now with what you're like buying parts hehe.

Front bumper finally all trimmed and prepped for paint...
Trial fitted the V5 lip also from the other bumper, it's a genuine lip so fits bob on...
So here's how she sits at the minute, looking like a mess! But getting there slowly!

The plan is to use it m8! But you know me!
I'm hoping to have it up and running at least by the end of the month and book in on a few track days etc.
I'm trying not to spend too much but you know that's easier said than done on these things!
yours being lightly modified and all that!

Where I'd use superlatives I'm going to have to substitute expletives! That's fookin awesome progress Drew. I'm glad the right bloke bought the car as the end result is going to be awesome. You're wasted in your day job Drew, you've clearly got a knack for the modding lark.

Cheers Maz! P.s. I agree re wheels and spoiler. Mid level spoiler going back on I think and the wheels will eventually be changed to millenniums, my personal fav on a classic!.
