So it's been almost a month but I've been painting lately and finally managed to redo the back end that I rubbed through

Cheers fellas I won't be doing the boot lid again 3 weeks and countless number of hinges later it's still not perfect but looks cool

Hood not a chance lol unless I can't get the power down well enough with them lol.


Last night did not go well tried fitting the glass and got nowhere so fitted the drivers lock internals and handle and just as I was feeling good I found this

The door is catching on the a panel and has pulled the paint on both so that will need repairing. I need to slot the hinges to move the door inwards as it is slightly proud the a panel
