Done a little more today. Main thing is fit my aero catches, I was in 2 minds if I should fit them but I want it to have a subtle motorsport look and I've seen 2 nova bonnet catches fail and result in it slapping the windscreen. So I went ahead with it.
I started by fitting the pins
Then marked the pin centre and piloted it
Then masked up and marked out
Cut them out and made access underneath to get to the front 2 bolts
Tidied them up a bit and etched primed them
After a bit of messing and lining up and also refitting front bumper and trial fitting grille
N/s one looks a bit rough as primer isn't covered by the catch, not too bothered as it will be getting rubbed back down in the body shop
Couple more of how it stands
Still got a bit more lining up to do on front bumper but might leave it while after paint. Also fitted a few more polished and red bits to the engine bay.
Grille to remove next week so I can make some sort of loom for the fan.
Not much happening here. Taking it to the body shop in 12 days so just sorting last little bits and wiring niggles.
Need to make a circuit to run the fan off a switch as the original wiring has been altered and I'm not sure what they've done
Sort new lock set, put rest of interior in and bits like that.
Also bought these as I want to steer away from the full gsi kit route a little and my drivers seat has a little bolster wear. Going to sell the gsi fronts and try get the rear bench trimmed to match these.
The child didn't come with them that's part of a previous project
Hopefully the next update will involve images sent by Martin at the body shop
Finally got it back together and running nicely and off it went to respray with my mates trade plates on.
he said the ride was the hardest he'd driven and the brakes were non existent....perfect
ive asked Martin at the paint shop to get some progress photos and to also paint the wheels silver and skirts hurricane grey while it's there.
Those seats look uber comfy!
