Another quick update...

Fitted a pretty much mint second hand carpet
Replaced the curtain airbag

Bought a door which came complete and in the same colour
Bought a pair of wings which aren't the right colour but there genuine
Bought both front seat belts as the pretensioners had gone off
Bought a new seat airbag and sent the seat away to have it fitted and repaired

The interior brushed aluminium parts have suffered with white worm corrosion from the Mold so I'm getting them hydro dipped in carbon as the sets on eBay are quite expensive, if they don't look right then I'll sell them and buy the original parts.

That's all for now. Hopefully have the inside back together soon and then crack on with the exterior. Struggling for time abit lately with work but I'll get there. Will try and get some more pics on too.

A lot of people wrap the interior trim. Usually works really well and should hide the corrosion.

Starting to come together nicely!

If I were you I'd upgrade to the MY11 smaller door mirrors. I think they look much nicer than the dumbos.

Not been on here for a while! Had a "off" on my motorbike which left me in abit of a bad way for a couple of months.

Anyway thought I'd update this thread with what pics I have of the car during repair and the finished product.







And here it is finished...






In the end it wasn't as profitable as I'd hoped but I still made a profit. Had it for sale for months on eBay and auto trader and didn't really get any interest. I actually ended up selling it to a local Evans halshaw garage after seeing one of there we buy cars type adverts.

And No it actually wasn't, took it for alignment and everything was fine.
