Cheerse Foose, I've heard about your American pickup, I'd like to see that when it's done!

Lovely looking car so far, good luck with the rest, can't wait to see it finished!
Thanks mate, and nah they have no purpose, they just collect water and it runs down the boot channel. I did think about welding them up, but I want the car to look somewhat original from the outside.
Anyways, been getting quite a few bits lately,
Brand new Recaro Pole Positions. 7kg a side. I've also got the Aluminium side mounts which are 1.1kg. And the Recaro Runners.
Watts Linkage Kit, Strut Brace, New Cosworth Gaiter, bumper mounts etc.
New rear light chromes, as you can see, much better than my old tatty ones.
New Grille from GRP4 Fabrications. Not sure just yet wether I'm using it though, it wasn't quite as good as I was expecting.
I've also got a new Airtec Intercooler/Radiator, thanks to Alan at Airtec. New dash top, all new seals , rubbers, new handbrake, etc. Need to get my wheel bolts and all handles re-chromed this week. And get all my bolts re-plated.
Ordering my Gaz Gold coilovers tomorrow along with Eccentric top mounts. And need to order the Smiths Flight gauges. Still need literally hundreds of parts
I said from the start of the build, I'm only going to fit brand new or reconditioned parts, and I stand by my word
obviously within reason, some parts are just not available new. But this is an all out show car, no expense will be spared.
