top picture is the latest.

green with black wheels but ive kept the chromework on headlights n grill etc. Dont know wether ill change this or not yet. New bonnet going on with custom bonnet stripes in black though.


Do you get any hassles with that number plate and the law?


Never had any issues. Been like that before i painted it aswell. Local traffic cars have stopped in garage and come over to talk to me about the car, passing compliments mainly and never been an issue.


Excellent! It looks really good!

Taking the bumpers off gives a lovely curve to the back end :proud:

the front is pretty simple...

but taking the bumper can be a bit tedious because you go through 3 sheets of metal which means welding them together, it's more of a pain than a problem! but still not a hard task

the second part you are refering to the rear bumper ? just to make it clear.

front you need to either carefully drill out the spotwelds with a spotweld drill or grind through the spotwelds.
