4 years since I started what has turned out to be quite a bumpy journey, involving body shops conning me and not doing work - work not to the best standard, having to have to stop for a back operation and also move house has all kept this project lagging behind only having a few hours every now and then to play.
Good news the car is now in my garage and I can continue to work on it even if its a little in each evening and I plan to install one part each day and then spend a day on it over the weekends to push the build forward.
I wanted to thank both bodytech solihull and eastcoat customs for all the body shop work which was good and unlike the other body shops did what I wanted without asking for cash and running / doing nothing. (name and shame will come at the end of the build with the full thanks to the good guys out there)
Here is the last photo taken from the body shop, notice the R56 bumper I made on the front and the lovely fit which did need some fettling to fit perfectly as the moulding process had a few little errors. Now its all splendid.
With the car on the way home I decided that I wanted to finish the front headlights, this involved adding super bright LEDs into the xenon cluster which will be used as day time running lights and should help to face lift the cars appearance, also I like the look of this modification
I wanted to thank my normal tow truck gent but I have forgotten his name but I will add it to the thanks list as he always takes cares of my cars when moving them and does a great job in delivering the car safely where it needs to go. This time its home for me;
I will now try and update this blog more with more photos and updates as the work continues...
