1> fitting a body kit (rear wings which were rivited on
2> put some expanding foam in the bonnet mainly for sound reduction
Oh a lot of expanding foam does not go solid when in an enclosed space as it cant dry, I've opened up spaces when I've bolloxd up ontil to find inside was still liquid, thoiugh the stuff to the air was solid, and this was like 6 months later !
