New Front - 56k Warning
Discussion
New Front End!!! WhooHoo!!! 
Not going to go into too much detail as I don’t really have much time ATM. Two weeks ago I decided to bite the bullet and fit the replacement front end panels as the old ones were literally falling off the car.
In short, we only sheered two bolts and had to grind six bolts off. Job well done.
Photos:
Before - well a year ago – many have seen the sorry state the panels got into before this weekend’s work:
Front valance Before:
Front Off-side:
]
Front Near-side:
Dismatling:
Prevention of further rust:
Re-assembling:
Done:
Some thieving toe-rag nicked the side repeaters whilst we were having lunch! Strange they only took the repeaters as there were loads of expensive tools too… Beats me!
Fortunately, I had a spare set...
Also need to stick on the rubbing strips...
And now need to wash the rest of the car so all panels colour match in future photos
Well chuffed 8)
Thanks:
Big thanks to Jo (my No.2 Spanner) who was extremely supportive and quick to duck when I threw my tools (toys) out the cot!
Chris (LimeyMk1) and Matt (Mr Dix) (Both IMOC Members) for the wings at a damn good price.
The IMOC member who sold me the valance - sorry dude can't remember your username...
Luke from Castle Coachworks in Northampton who arranged the prepping and spraying.
