Achieved today:

Number plate surround painted satin black:



Included cleaning and painting the lights:



Rear trim rubbed back and sprayed with stoneguard.......just needs colour:



Big thanks to Clueless (Grant) for the original tape deck...........just need the radio now, ashtray also fitted:



Started prepping the passenger door for for installation:

Coming along very nicely mate.

The satin black looks awesome! Was the number plate surround and the panels under the windscreen sprayed with a gun?

I actually used a pressure pack.........just make sure you spray with flexiprime first, or in six months the paint will flake off.

The Blue panels are painted with a gun, bit hard (and expensive) with pressure packs!

Drivers side pod finished in colour:



Need to find some meltrim to remake the boot floor...........it's been cut away........who knows why.





I know everybody has this problem.........the taillight inspection panels......they break and always fall out........Humm.......how to fix?.........I used some Velcro to fix this problem..........cant find original ones, but at least they won't fall out!



Installed:

that velcro idea is great they fit up perfectly!!

coming along nicely

the rubber spoilers are not the easiest to clean up , but if you use a high presure washer and degreaser , they just get that old residue off , then you can treat it pretty easy

Thanks Travis, but I still need to finalise this.

Now......bumpers........the front one had been hit "hard" on the drivers side causing distortion to the passenger side.........basically the bar was twisted.

After an initial inspection I found the front bar on the drivers side had forced itself "down" due to impact. I G clamped the plastic a little further and heated with an LPG attachment to a bottle.

Before heating the indicator had a large gap at the bottom:



After heating:



The passenger side was the same but not so bad:



Passenger side after fixing, the indicator fitted perfectly:



Still fixing the drivers side:



The whole bumper is looking good now.........the style lines meet up but it's not perfect.

Front bumper fitted, just need to rub it back and add colour.

Installed the front bar this afternoon............fitted perfectly.....no need to "push & pull" to get the holes to align...........still not happy with the outcome, just need a little more filling........but here are some pics:





Hey.........at least its straight now.

Looks perfect!

Spent today fixing the original rubber rear wing..........alot of the frame was rusted out allowing the threads to come away.

I replaced the threads and used urethane to hold them in place............after continual swearing the wing now aligns with all the original holes.



Here is the wing drying.........needed to hold the outer edges down with tape to ensure the threads didn't pull through........very happy with the outcome.

Bought some 5 inch (125mm) speakers to replace the old ones.........could only get them with a grill and tweeter.......here is how they look applied to the original mounts:





After pod installation........perfect fit:

i like that idea looks great for an original install

Epic i must say.

Wasn't happy with the front bar..........so back in highfill it went:





I'm now happy, after days of rubbing.......no nicks, dents or blemishes to be seen, just need to pin the bar and add the textured look as parts of the bar are actually flat and add satin black.

This pic shows the bar is "smooth" after fixing a large break.

Front bar pinned and texture coat added:



Final coat of satin black, all ready for fitment (again)

looks really clean

Here are some pics of the bar installed.........looks great.



Close up of the "texture"



The difference between the texture and flat areas:
