Next stage Front end respray.

Bonnet was really bad. it had been sprayed before with moisture under the paint so it looked like loads of stone chips

Back to bare metal

This post is becoming a bit of a build thread, oh well latest addition fitted today.


Bluetooth unit took about couple of hours to fit, a lot of trim and wires to route.
