Default Tidy up on the 3dr!

Going for a tidy up on my moonstone 3dr. started with taking off the bodykit, and quite relived that it still has wheel arches left!
Cut the rot out of the nsr wheel arch and put some metal back in.
Also sorted a small patch in the nsf inner wing.
Engine out and ready for a freshen up.

Took the fuel tank out and the boot floor is good aswell.

Picked up another front cross member as my one was all crushed in from having jacks under it over the years! Got a few dents in it but not half as bad as the one before, heated them up and knocked them out as best i could.
New rear 4x4 brake calipers arrived today.
