Hope you manage to find some inner wings

Jeffrey there was an inner wing on ebay uk last week, did you have a bid?

Hi John,

Could only find a chassis leg on ebay.
Thanks by the way...

Washed the car today. Spotted some condensation inside the right headlamp. Need to fit new bulbs this week, will try to sort it. Plan is to fit new bulb, remove the sidelamp socket / sidelamp bulb holder and turn on the headlamp so the heat and moisture can come out via the sidelamp socket.

Nice new bits mate. Hope you get the rust sorted. Good luck sourcing new inner wings.

Cheers guys!

Washed the car today. This is how it stands at the moment, need to change all fuel lines this week.



Also fitted the new rear clusters today:




And cleaned the alloys and changed the wheel bolts for new genuine GM ones. Now I can clean the original ones and swap them back later on.









Not bad for a 20 year old alloy wheel me thinks!

Not much really... bought this just in case I might need it in the future:

This worked! All the fog is out now, mainly due to the fact that I remove the sidelamp socket and just let it dry in the sun, the weather here is perfect now, yesterday we had up to 31,5 C in the afternoon! Bring on the BBQ!!
