looking good. Was it expensive to do the coating?

Only tip i'd add is to fit the door rubbers - saves sitting on the metal as that does hurt after a while of working on a car btdt pissing around with my old rs

All what you see there cost me 40 quid. Didn't have the cam pulleys done as I've ordered verniers.

Still need to find an alternator drop bracket so will need to get that done too

There is a drop bracket for sale in the sale section for a 2wd car.

Looking mate.

not sure if you know, but base model 4 door and 3 door Sierra's had a 2 switch window panel just for the fronts, I have one for mine and are quite easy to get. Look better than the 4 switch item.

Made some good progress today.

Managed to get the passenger door fitted, loom is now in, dash is in too.... Then had a mock up of the seats & centre console. Needs some cut & shut work but nothing major.

And that's it in nearly 4 months
