more building,

primed and prepped the front bumper as it got damaged bein sat around and a light door fell on it and caused a couple of hairline cracks in the lacquer so thought id freshen it up with some new paint.....


next fitted all the rear brake shoes and hubs and bearings etc etc together








then fitted the strut brace


next to follow is,

whiteline arb
spray both bumpers
bleed the brakes
tidy up the rear of the interior

small update, cut my mesh from B&Q then had it powder-coated black, i think it will look good as ive always had normal aluminium mesh..

ordered some new wheel bolts and locking nuts as all my wheel bolts are rusty and locking wheel nuts were wearing out....

Good progress, looks spot on with the black mesh aswell really tidy.
Am i right in thinking that rear bumper is quite rare? or is it a custom jobby?
