Still waiting for mother to finish my roof lining. Once thats done i can really crack on and get the outside sorted.
Bumpers and skirts are being tarted up right now. And wheels (not the Porsche ones. They will have to wait. ££££) will be refurbed soon.
Bay is looking sweeet Pete,
loving the mirrors also :thumb:

Toe eye slot filled. Same for the number plate light.
Got some more pics, but on my phone as the battery died on my camera! Will upload later.
Roof lining wont be done before crimbo. New year job. Glass in then i think i can think about MOT time!!
what grey is that? vauxhall technical grey? looks a real nice finish
This is looking really cool now, bumpers look like a good finish & interesting shade of Grey which is hard to get right.
Its a Vauxhall colour. Opel speckle something IIRC. Got some left, will check the label. I had my wheels done in it years ago. Meant to get the bumpers done, but never did!!
What are you doing for a no plate lamp then??
Relocated it into the boot grab rail using modified Vectra lights.
Will get a pic off bootlid mods.

2 Slots. Trimmed down the Vectra lights, fibreglassed inside the modified grab rail and screwed them it. They sit inside so not flush with the rail. Took 2 attempts to get it right. Just wanted to clean the back up really!
Pics outisde.

Loving the bumper colour, looks close to mine. Love what you've done to remove the toeing hole, something i've been thinking about doing too.
Looks frigging awesome.

You just need to slacken it off in the arches and have someone lift it up slightly and tighten it back up
Sweet, cheers. Noob question, the brackets...are the sided??
No
Tidy
Awesome, looking great - what wheels are going on this now?
The multi spokes are going to get repainted soon. Will use them till i can save up some some pennys. Got some Porsche 928 alloys for it. Waiting for the place near me to get their lathe, then they will get some diamond cut action!!

just spent the last 45mines reading all 36pages epic thread mate, good things come to those who wait!
nice build fella looks very much like mine did before i started hacking it apart , keep up the stunning work .
Update time.
Got the roof lining nightmare 95% put to bed today! I bought a non sunroof mk2 lining thinking i could just cut a hole and job jobbed. No sodding way lol. Looked a bloody mess.

So i unpicked every single stitch and used it as a template to make my own. From scratch!! I then got mother to sew it all together. Some of you may know, not an easy task.
Finally got around to fitting it today..

IMO looks bloody ace! My dad helped me to fit it. Just need to sort the holes for the sun visors, sunroof handle and interior light. Then rubbers for the windows and door seals.
Gave all the plastics and clips a clean aswell as after the fire they were covered in a horrible black greasy slime.

Weather dependant i plan get it all sorted this weekend. Then wheels are next. DIY refurb FTW!
Did you put the brace bars in yours, as if you have seen brucers GTE let, hes just done one, and with them braces in its loads better/essayer etc.
Looks alright tho dude, rather you lol
So what the plan for the wheels?
Scott
Aye, got the bars in it. All made!! Rep goes to bazil as he did a thread in articles. Plan for the wheels...once glass etc is in, back on axle stands and refurb of the current alloys. Cant afford the rubber and adaptors for the Porker rims right now. They will have to wait.
