lacquered the mesh today but can't find the rubber u channel I have to finish the bumper cut out...scuppered for now so I may have to buy some more. thanks to Lee for the cable ties all i need to do is sort the u channel and I can refit the wing and bumper ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)
got a very nice parcel from Mr Carl Davey; top feed conversion kit and fuel rails, its such a well engineered package highly recommended. the forged elbow fittings are spot on...just need some injectors now.

I'll be dropping the Advans off to be repaired and painted this week too, looking forward to seeing how bad they come out

ordered some replacement u trim so the other stuff id bound to turn up now...hey ho. Stage 1 of my filling the headlamp washers has gone OK; I trimmed my butchered bumper and stuck a section under the small infill. Once I've filled and preped them it will be interesting to see how i get on painting a small section....![Ponder2](images/smilies/ponder2.gif)

Also ordered a pump bracket for my external 044, looks to be good value for the money...thanks Arch
A couple of bits coming from Marks WR1 are providing the last bits for the oil cooler and injector set up too...time to give my wallet a rest I think ![Embarassed](images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)

A good day today...car got to see the light of day
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/trails/IMG_1961.jpg)
and thanks to Millzy sorted the fog lamp induction trumpets...glued and fibred glassed in place
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/trails/IMG_1962.jpg)
and then filled, smoothed and primered...more work on the washer jet holes but I've got to accept I need to get the whole bumper sprayed now so I'll have a crack at preping the bonnet for paint over the long weekend too. Glued the u channel on and as expected found the pack I lost
I think its looking good so far massive thanks to Chris for giving up his day ![Smile](images/smilies/smile.gif)

Looking good mate ![Thumb](images/smilies/thumb.gif)
Carl's stuff is amazingly well engineered and finished, he is a perfectionist and his stuff is top quality and he is also a genuinely cracking guy.
I have his original alternator relocation kit and it is first rate but the newer one is even better. Might well be speaking to him about some fuel rails

Cheers john, done the sticker thing though...was way easier ![Lol1](images/smilies/lol1.gif)
Cheers Trev, my first go at body work so a steep learning curve...![Freak3](images/smilies/freak3.gif)
Finally got round to drilling those two fittings out to remove the broken wing mirror...leaving it off for now just in case![Nono](images/smilies/nono.gif)
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/trails/IMG_2005.jpg)
Now I'm a fiberglass expert it was pretty east to finish off the bonnet reinforcement\clean up ready for some paint tomorrow![Big Grin](images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/trails/IMG_2004.jpg)
Filler primered, flated and painted finally...look OK, will check them in the daylight though...
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/trails/IMG_2022.jpg)
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/trails/IMG_2016.jpg)
most if my time was spent on the vent today; following advice from Chris I brought some glassfiber filler an made good the gaps by using a masking tape mould...yeah inevitably I cocked up the cut again, fit is poor though.
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/trails/IMG_2008.jpg)
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v454/trails/IMG_2010.jpg)
much rubbing down later I ended up with this...I've filled it ready for tomorrow too; more sanding after Sunday lunch![Brickwall](images/smilies/brickwall.gif)

Interior fiddle; blanking plate for air con switch and swapping the now redundant headlamp washer switch for modded headlight position switch which I intend to select my three different maps with
