Yeah, today i allmost finished the rebuild.
Rear bumper, lights, sum trim.
the front bumper raised a few issues, the new bolts ive got (which are the same as the 20 year old, rustys) for sum reason wont bite, there not long enough :roll:
So the front bumper aint on :(
Looks like the new smile rubber is a tad thicker, so bolts need to b longer.

Didnt take any pics cos car aint back in one piece, and had to try and fit roller shutter door to garage.
Cant work the roller spring thingy :? .

I really like the contrast with the fresh white against the black, looks well.
The pics dont do it justice, the cam is set on min so the file size is small for postin, you cant c the shine!

The heigo rear cage allso stands out against the black interior well, love the look, RS/tourer mayb?

Only thing i didnt have done was the seat backs, i considered havin them painted white as well :?:, but didnt mayb later???

A few pics.

Thanks for the good comments, :cheers:
