Looking good matey, only a couple of hours max left for you to do on the final jobs speak with Mike ref getting the window motor, also worth greasing up the regulator aswell, you just need to book the specialists for the windscreen and the exhaust now and then set the car up so she runs properly and then MOT time

and then get the fueling setup.

window motor now sorted courtesy of mr dave reed

if i can afford it i will have the screen and exhaust fitted when i get paid this month but the screen will be last of all as its easier to finish all the dash off with no screen fitted

cheers scratcher me old mate for the coments
i done the towing eye this way as i wanted the whole bumper smothed in with no lose tow eye cover in place its clever but simple how its done the tow eye body is from a bmw e36, i had the front slam panel stregthened with the tow eye body welded in then when the bumper is on i have a hole hidden behind my number plate where you would screw the tow eye into the body.

it will be more than strong enough to pull up on a trailer or a flat bed with a winch but i will never try and tow off it

as idont want the front end to look like the front of a boat

Just fit the rubbers and then you will not need to clean the windows.
