Ohh mk2 rear bumper up for grabs then?? First dibs if poss. Astra coupe, in mirage lovely!!
I got that from a scrapper that had a rear end shunt, the bumper that is. It's got damage on the offside corner. I'll get a better pic taken, but it's yours if you're happy with it.Quote:

I'll get a pic of the bumper up tomorrow.

Rear bumper that I got for ?8 and heated back into a reasonable shape.

Work carried out today involved removing the ICE, the seat belts and any other interior trim that's surplus to the car being driveable. Hoovering as I went along to keep things nice and clean. Just got to put all the stuff up the loft out the way.

Been thinking about colours and quite keen on the mk1 SR Mustard Yellow or Platinum Metalic. Looking for a colour that will match the car's age.
Also decided, the number plate panel is going which means the holes I drilled for it will need patching up.
Managed to get hold of an unused and immaculate zender front valance. So tonight removed the SR bumper, re-fitted my old skinny bumper along with the zender valance and was really chuffed with the results. That bumper and grille are not staying though. Got a one piece bumper and grille from an early mk1 SR on it's way along with new wings and a new door skin. Also removed the mk2 rear bumper and fitted the original skinny. Removed the rear number plate panel all together.

Cleaned behind the old bumper revealing very nice bodywork as expected.

The old rear bumper and number plate don't half look daft.
Today my new bumper, wings and door skin arrived so test fitted all except the door skin, will leave that to the bodyshop to sort out. Ordered these parts from http://www.beeversautopanels.co.uk and was very happy with the service provided. Would recommend.

Here's the bumper fitted, not fully bolted up though..

And wings fitted, which must be the best aftermarket parts I have come across. I am well chuffed.

Here's a pic of the front near side sill under the wing, all it still solid.

Also removed the front suspension and cleaned it up as it'll be up for sale as a set of Avo Coilovers from Chris Astley Motorsport are on their way. Stuck the old suspension back on, which even though it's 20 years old is still in immaculate condition.
Will get the rears off tomorrow and compile a for sale thread with all the bits I no longer require.
Comments would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Shaun.
wow, that looks fantastic ! Doesn't it have something like 13k on the clocks ?
Good luck with the rest of the build.
