Youve got a lot done since i last checked this thread and its looking good . I just wish i had more room and time to get mine finished as the house is now getting full of car parts and my garage is full to .
I will be watching more closley now as your putting it together to see the finished artical .
It will be worth all the hard work .

Went to Coleys last nite, started to put some of the loom through the car.......what a nightmare 
....trying to figure out what goes where? Very hard when the car started off without original loom but think he will get there.
Need to source some pics or a loom fitting guide. Anyone on here know of one on here??
Anyway not alot of pics but you get the idea..........
I know the bits that are being prepped should be sorted tonight and ready for spray by the weekend.....the next task then is to get the spoiler, arch kit, skirts and bumpers rubbed down ready for a nice thick coat of diamond white!!!!
So maybe another update will appear later on

Been down the body shop all tonight. At last there is light at the end of the tunnel the bonnet is all blocked and wet flatted the passenger door is the same and the tail gate has had to have one more small repair to it but is now in primer, it only needs about 10 minutes work to it and its ready, and the drivers door is now in primer and just needs blocking and then we can get some paint on them 
But on the down side we still have the kit to do. The wail tail / caps / filler cap vents and the 2 bumpers and the grill also need spraying so not out the water yet !!!!!!

Just a little teaser really.....
Been busy with the trim side of things and feeding loom around the car.
Fed the wires through down to the pump.........quite lucky really as this loom came from the blue 3dr we stripped!!
And heres the brand new tank thanks going on.....
Quick couple of randoms........
Should be in the garage tonight doing abit more, spent most of last night feeding bloody loom through the back pillars
nightmare!!!
