    NEW UPDATE!
    I have photo's on the camera, will try get them up on the weekend. Have all the door jambs in primer, the 2 l/h door skins on & aerial hole in l/h guard welded up, bonnet repaired & front bumper repaired and gapped properly, and all mentioned is in primer also.
    Have ordered my new crystal lens headlights and replacement tail lights in black again. Also ordered a new plush pile carpet in beige colour to suit the interior colour. Seats are also going cream as well haha... May as well do the whole lot while I can and finish it off properly.

    Getting excited, getting much closer to laying down colour :) Still no news on the vinyl I order :( So I can't colour match it to spray interior parts yet. Other than that I'm looking forward to finishing it so I can start getting some sleep back haha

    My vinyl has arrived!!!!!! Yay haha, also have the carpet & lights on their way to me :D Seats will be paid for tomorrow so they can start making the trims. Interior has also been sprayed, it was a real ass pain to do but still got to retrim some parts but looking good otherwise.

    Hopefully gonna smash out the prep work this week so I can get it near ready for painting.

    Going to put in an offer on a house this week so pending how things go, I might finally get a garage to put it in ;) hahaha


    Pics are due so here we go!

    Yeh it's fibreglass, not a crappy ebay one though... It's from Classic Spoilers from over east.

    Slowly making more progress, sandblasted the engine bay and I've layed down some colour on all the inner jambs and engine bay, now all I've got to do is focus on getting the outside done haha.... I must say the cream interior looks lubly up against the grey ;) Also my new head & tail lights have arrived and carpet shouldn't be far behind. Also the seats trims are currently getting made so hopefully another 2 weeks on them. Parcel shelf and rear pillars are currently getting trimmed, so when they're done I can finish trimming the rest of the car.

    So I've managed to get all the window trims/mouldings painted a fresh satin black, all the door windows are in, body kit has also been painted and the car has been oiled out :)
    List of what's left to do..
    - Paint a couple interior bits
    - Fit new carpet, leather seat trims & trim the rest of the interior
    - Fit new head lights and tail lights
    - Buff & polish whole car
    - Fit body kit
    - Paint underside black
    - Paint rims
    - Wash it
    - DRIVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Seat trims will hopefully be finished this week and be ready to be posted to me by end of week.

    I like this car. Like most others im a huge not fan of inter-series body kits but yours pulls it off well. Good stuff bud!

    I want an M62 for my car now. Dammit.

    Thanks dude :) Body kits are very hit & miss haha. I want too upgrade to a 6L or 6.7L Motor haha but later on down the track....


    Ok some more progress, I've put in the new head lights & tail lights, fitted the rear bumper, rear quarter windows and the top half of the interior, I've got to put some screw holes in the new guards to secure the side skirt. Parcel shelf doesn't fit with the 6 x 9 speaker because the trimmer ####ed up with measurements (and scratched the rear tint when I put it in the car) so I've gotta get some new 6.5" speaker to take their place (which I've been meaning to do) just couldn't be bothered haha, so I'll get them to sit in there recessed so you can't see them and still use the 6 x 9 covers over them. But It's looking the goods... Pics!!!!!
