i know i posted a thread similar the other day but this shows it a lot better now and the last one got sidetracked so it's gone from this....



(earliest pic i have)

to having alloys and sebring 6x4...



then the much needed suspension...





then the rub strips and badges came off and irmscher front badge on...



then the smoked clear fronts



and it was all looking so good



until that god damn badger got in the way



so i ended up with this...



but all was not lost i decided to invest heavily and finally do what i'd wanted all along a smoothed front and spray the rest of my plastics, so the bumper smoothing began...



to being primed...



and then i found one of these for a bargain price properly welded to good ol' fad and rus know the score here...



then i put it on....



then the nice man from sabelt delivered me harnesses bargain again and top bloke...



then i got my subframes and seats sorted and it went in...





and now i just goodbye to the rest of it as it's off to be sprayed... pics and future updates shall follow as it develops...

i love my car and i love you all...

btw, next is to be the the rest sprayed .etc but the rear is gonna be put in well the cards .etc and then a retrim followed by false floor and ICE shakedown so its nice and tidy

I love this pic of your car, never seen smoked euro lights look so at home on any other car.




Look forward to seeing it finished
