Missed a few updates on here oops

One thing i always planned on doing was getting rid of the side repeaters, so i made up some metal pieces to fit in the hole left on the wing and proceeded to weld them up  [:S] my welding isnt the best



Also did the hole left from removing the phone aerial



Then the next day got some filler on there before it got too late and my tea was calling [snack]





Still not finished yet but its slowly getting there, needs a bit more flatting and filler to shape.

Also had some bargains come up recently, the main one being this





Been after one of these since i started modding the Diesel, however this isnt going to get fitted in there  :lol: Got some genuine R32 inside trims on the way too.

Also got these for a bargain off ebay



So when i can be bothered one night i will flat them down and give them a few light coats.

Also this arrived through my door last week





Got the other side on its way too.

Not a lot been happening on the car recently as ive been to a couple of local shows.

Spent a bit more time though getting a decent shape back to the front wings though im now thinking of getting another couple and starting again.





Painted up my mirror covers as i couldnt wait to see something in paint.



And last weekend got some paint on my grille as well.

Also welded up the roof aerial hole just need to filler that, and flatted my standard rear lights and put a coat of tint spray on one to find its really crap tint spray and not translucent like on my others [brick]  need to get some more.

And today a little delivery arrived for me, will get some pics up tomorrow if the weather is ok.

 Heres what arrived yesterday [funky]

Little update:

Dropped my LR wheels off at my mates place Passion Restoration Products in Wrexham to be powder coated :wub: Hes got a nice unit on the industrial estate where he does powder coating, flocking, and electro plating.

Also weather holding off on Friday im finally getting the A6 handles welded into my doors and the TT filler cap done. With those bits done i can then get on with the rest of the bodywork and i wont be waiting on other people to do stuff for me.

Fingers crossed it will be a good week.
