Next up was assembling a few bits on the front.
In between flatting and polishing panels i cleaned and added some exterior trim so i didnt loose interest :D

As you can see all the trim is original and all i have done is clean them and put them back on, not quite as easy as it sounds but still unrestored.

Today i managed the rest of the flatting, attaching the door mirror and the windscreen surround that was a pain to do.

Apparently putting details of your car spec in your signature means the nice folks on exile-rotorsport think you\'re a fool.  I can think of no higher compliment!
