And who will find all the Speedster-parts? Or are you already rebuilding some of them?

Rear end coming together nicely now. With the bumper fitted we can re-affix the light deck supports which were removed from the panel for painting. I suppose the alternative would be to have them in body colour - as most paint shops seem to prefer them that way.

Engine running, aircon gassed, no leaks. Hence all the undertrays and arch liners can now be fitted.

Front bumper comes next, Marc taking the time to glue on the bumper to wing seals properly and pre-assemble the healdamp washer system before fitting.

Then we got high on the smell of adhesive.


Hopefully I will have made any bad days out in Rennland much better by now.

Love this thread and watching the progress!

Just curious why you wouldn't use an exhaust tip that's angled to follow the lines of the bumper instead of the squared off type?

Well, it's probably best to ask the owner who supplied them, but knowing him I would guess that the tips may be considered to be "work in progress".

Hi Scott,
your comment hit the nail by it's head. This isn't the best choice but as Colin tried to explain it is a temporarily solution.
I could get a complete techart exhaust set with the angled tips just now and the time is too short to ship it to 9m. So Marc has to use this dansk part. But believe me: waiting will worth the time

Btw: I like your calipers really
