Its dead easy mate...the doors fit into the door shaped holes, the boot lid goes on the back hole and the bonnet goes over the engine. The fuel flap cover's the hole where most of your running costs go into 
If you were any good at getting the shapes in the right holes at school then you'll have it sussed in no time.....if you wernt any good with the shapes at school and often found your self smashing ten bells of shit out of the square whilst trying to get it through the round hole then, your fucked

been busy on the saph today. t'is getting there slowly
few pic's of today's work.
the car had a cover over it for a week or so and has really marked the paint.
but thankfully it buff's off!! the front of the wing has had a light rub with a bit of G6
and i know the tow eye is fookin still rusty. i thought the cover actually covered the thing. not just go underneath it
painted roof bar's and c pillar trim's.
and finally the back seat's are back in!! only been out for 4 yr's..
should have some pic's again tomorrow. hopefully it'll look like a finished saph!!

cheer's guy's..
well did'nt go as planned today! got the dash finished off. only took 3 1/2 hr's!! an got the door's dretty much finished. i took the buff over the front wing and it's tkaen off the grime that the cover left. it does lok good but i think it could be better. so i think am gonna take and flat it down then give it a good polish up.

I love the black painted pillar covers and roof bars, gonna get mine done like that when funds allow cos they're getting scruffy - I imagine it won't look TOO bad if I do them with rattle cans?? I'm gonna give it a go I think.

yea give it a go mate. you won't loose out anyway. get a bit of scotchbrite to key the surface an just take your time. couple of coat's of primer let it dry then couple coat's of colour. i've done mine vauxhall black sapphire. i'm gonna be doin the scuttle panel at some point an probably the door handle's. it goes well with the white i think..

cheer's mate..
not got any pic's but i can get some if you want. your bootlid might have to be drilled from the inside. i've got the bootlid mine came off in the shed. i'll take a pic of that in the morning. i've just bolted mine in the middle with the original bolt's. then put bolt's in the original outter hole's on top of the boot and cut the head off them. i did drill a small hole in the back of my boot to put small screw's into the front of the outter leg's then i'm gonna fill the hole's in the spoiler with tiger seal and push it onto the bolt's.
can get pic's of how am fitting it if you want?

can't wait to get some pic's with em both. there's load's of cracking places up here to take some.
as for the 2nd comment.. are you trying to butter me up for some painting on your's??
it's a big boost seeing it on seeing comment's up on the screen. i'mnever happy when painting my own stuff. i dare say in a yr or so it'll be flatted down and painted again!

couple more pic's. got her all buffed up the other night. i'm not 100% happy with the finish tho. it'll do for now. prob paint it agin next yr. i'm also not 100% sure about the wheel's yet. there gonna stay white till i decide. but they'll prob end up anthracite.
my funky green headlight's..
dunno why the pic's look kind blurry. must have cocked up the camera somehow
