now we probably could sort most of that out , but the fact the bulkhead ideally needs changing and the chassis rails are rotten at the front we figured it was best to cut it all off and start again .

also had a nice little road trip down to kent and canvey island to pick up a few bits , 90 spec front bumper , turbo bonnet , all the interior trim apart from the seats , combi rear bumper .
