You did a grand job uncle

Still got to trim the bumper back a bit more as it's not sitting 100% correct at the moment but i can do that when i put the edge trim on and the mesh

Well if your target is 400/500 bhp go for 555 bhp and you can become the Squadron Leader of the 555 Wagon Squadron.
Great Project Ian and as you are the RO for Kent then you really should have some Bl**dy Hot Pistons under the bonnet.

i think Steven is asking the same question I asked when you first brought it; because the heads\IM are from an early car they are not compatible with your current loom...I'm going to be using a Solaris to enable me to run VVT heads, not sure if you can use it to fix this issue easily too?
