Next the front.....

The front bumper beam is on with new bumper brackets replaced with new bolts. Essential especially the rears, but its worth it.

Pictures of the old ones on rear!!!!Shocking pics!!!




This one came with the Alu. rear beam bracket that snapped! Because of the rust, the bracket mount was all cleaned, cut and bared.





hehehe do you see the front bumper sticking out of the front screen! Ready to go!!!!!

Whilst were at the front, these tow pictures will show the large water bottle deleted under the passenger wing.

Before the bumper goes on with the smilie rubber seal, theres a metal trim plate the is below bolted to the front of the car was a little rotten. Was going to restore it, but for a bargain buy on Fleebay, it was cheaper for me to buy it than sandblast it and powercoat it!





Ok enough for now, have a good weekend am off for a rest till next week when the front bumper and sills will be on.

Frank, a nice car but wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too low. But something similar in wheel choice, he runs 17" BBS mags.

Am indecisive about wheel choice at the moment, as I have a few sets of wheels to run, but not sure which

Cup1s
BBS E28s
BBS LeMans
RH Cup splits (Speedline look)
and possibly a sponsored set I may promote for some friends.

Mainly 18" but am think I may run 17s, lot more tire and going opposite to everyone going 18s.

Ok, the start of the week had the front PU on, a quick pic. for now until I upload a few more pics later of the front.

Right now the front fits a treat with those lush new seals and especially a new 'Smilie'.
