Thanks Tim, fitted the grill surround and grill this weekend, one spot fitted but not properly....a real pain trying to get and fit the nuts....arms ripped to shreds.

Yeah mate it's painfull finding the right parts for some thing that's different, and with out copying someone elsa
Got the tyres fitted to my wire wheels today 205/65/15 on the front and 215/65/15 on the back.
Went for Dunlop Sport Blu Response all round, nice tread pattern.
They look fabulous.....make the wheels look super shinetastic

Your not kidding....arms look like an aerial photo of spaghetti junction....in blood
Managed to get a couple of hours on the car today, both spotlights now in, wired up and fully functional.
Will re-fit the ambient temperature sensor tomorrow (on a flat bit of the bumper metal work extension, with Velcro and a tie-wrap) Then the front bumper can go on, then the wires on the front and I can drop it down and get the back up for rear spring change first.
I need to give it a nice long anti-deterioration run....with all the checking of the front lights the battery might need a bit of charge first.
Want to get it MOT'd in the next 3 or 4 weeks, then Croydon for the new hood.

Can't wait too see pics!
Temp sensor fitted, front bumper on...nice to fit a big shiny bit....and make some room in the garage.
Near side front wire wheel fitted....took longer than you would think as the inner hub diameter that they fit over was rusted, what with that and the wheel being brand new, I had to dremel off the rust to get it to fit. Needs a bit of grease as well so the wheel can rotate, without turning the hub, to line up the bolts.
Oh for the days of studs !

I know mate. Once I get the other wire wheel fitted to the front I will drop it down and roll it out of the garage for pictures. Then back in and jack the back up for rear spring change and back light wiring.
I pulled the car out of the garage this morning, as I have a couple of days off so trying to get some work done. Some photo's of progress so far:
Then I put her back in the garage jacked up the rear end and managed to get both rear springs changed. Glad to see the back of the spring changing jobs....although the back was a breeze compared to the front.
Try and get some rear light action tomorrow.
Oh by the way, all the lights on the front work great, except one spotlight, that was working, suddenly packed up....hoping it is just the fuse.

Stunning mate, your choice of wire wheels is spot on.
Thanks mate, will be fitting the boot seal you kindly sent me soon.
Cracking finish, looking great
Thanks for sharing, I absolutely love it and the wires are fantastic! Want a set of them for my Zed!! JIM
