Hey all i thought i would post a couple of pics up of the nearly finished project.



Had to higher the front end for the MOT because it couldnt get over their inspection pit! Will be dropping back down once all completed



Still some body work to patch up and parts to clean but here we are

never seen this before! looks like a lovely corsa mate the rear bumper will be going next and a standard smoothed one in its place will think about the exhaust once new bumpers on
