Well it's been a while since typing about this project.
It's been off the road since i smashed the screen back in Feb this year. Cry
Last few month have stripped it and done a re-spray after grinding out the cracks that appeared much later.
Had vinyl graphics on it at first, but they were not holding up so the flag is now painted on.
With the damage from the screen, the cracks & the graphics, is was needing a refurb and tweek.

Fitted new mirrors that are internally adjustable from an Alpha.
Just been giving her a buff. The front right guard came up well Grin Cool

Pics for Cyco








Sorry about the mess in the shed Embarrassed

Looking good!  So what are the mirrors off as they suit the car quite well.

Guess I should do a close-up shot of them.
I like em

Had to do a bit of fibreglass work to get them to sit level

Yeh that'd be good if you get a chance - I'm still in the process of deciding which mirrors to use on mine.   It's always interesting to see how people have shaped the A-pillar to fit an alternative set of mirrors too.

Wow, that side panel fits great. And nice to see the flag has now been painted on, rather than a sticker.  Wink

OK just went outside and here's some Close-up of the mirrors Shocked







Looks better in the flesh.
Probably not everyone's cupa tea but s**t, I like em

and one of the star on the drivers side. Sorry about the colour. It is actually white.
I've increased the gap between the star & the cross this time. it makes it more distinguishable. Roll Eyes
