Right, next bit,
My car was happily parked up at home and one night some little twat kicked my indicator in and broke the headlamp mount at the bottom, so i thought id get a set of amber indicators.
I found second hand ones wernt far off the cost of new ones so i got new ones and when they came i thought that a front end freshen up was in order. So i got some paint and got to it
I then made up some little brackets as a temp measure for the grill as it was insecure due to having non cosworth headlights. Also i made a bracket to hold the nearside headlamp in place
Then fitted my new ambers and turned my attention to the bumper, grill and bumper strip thing
And then painted in halfords ford diamond cream! Which actually matched the car better than the diamond white car it ment for
And put back together
The next day i noticed that my seat was deooping to one side so i had a look and found one of the rear seat mounts had rotten away, so on with fixing that
I welded in two skins of 1mm thick metal, one on top and one underneath
Then painted and sealed it inside, refitted carpet and seat then drilled a hole and nut and bolted it down and spot welded nut on the underside and painted
Still more to come but fone battery is dying now lol
