Update

Been a while since i have updated but we have been pretty busy getting it ready for paint.

First of all massive thanks to zetec69 for his help, skills, knowledge, facilitys, tools, ideas etc stunning work bradders

There was a few bits i needed before it could go for paint so we piled in my mates passat and headed out to pick up a drivers door, spoiler, arches and skirts, windscreen and headlights. I thought it would all piss in the passat no worries but the door wasnt having any of it so i had to go all the way back there the next day in my Mk2 Fiesta to collect, it squeezed in.... just!





I also got another front bumper which has already been cut for a GRS cooler and im hoping to get lucky with clearance as i dont currently have a GRS cooler to mock up with lol



The main aim at this point was to get it ready to go for paint so we stripped it further leaving only the essencials underneith so it still rolled.

It turns out with closer inspection that the car has had alot of the hard work done with new wings, quarters, front panel and rear panel and the underside is clean and painted black so i wont be touching that at all yet.

Then we removed all the mangled studs from the kit and spoiler and restudded them using adhesive and stainless bolts and drilled the arches to accept the kit and trial fitted.





With abit of digging the swage was re introduced on the bonnet




Then the painter picked the car up on his trailer and took the car to its new body shop home for the next 30 years or so lol



I also got my EFi head back from Jano at Oddkidd Creations after some machining and new parts with my newman ph4 cam and solid lifters fitted.
