I also used this week to get the car really for PVS but as am not showing I still got the work done anyway.
First up was to redo all the trim as it was just a rust job last time.


And the front bumper as the paint was starting to peel.

Reading through this is like watching my black B being built all over again, except the engine lol.

Not a fan of the white Speedlines, but thats just personal preference. Cars looking very smart

Next was a couple more parts ready to swap over the inlets



This will be cleaned as the one on the car is a mesh

Then so wire wrap to tired up the wiring as it gets a bit mixed up after fitting a powerbox
