No updated pics mate. The bumpers came up well. Only problem is that they are vulnerable to stone chips I suppose. I've bought the rubbers 2nd hand. But BBT do new ones but they are £50 each I think. So I'll see how it goes....

One of my brackets are held together with screws  :embarassed: but If I were going for a restoration I'd get new IMO. I think plastic weld would be ok though.

When you swapping it over?

yer think i might just get one from BBT as they're stuff seems really good..

Ermm when i get paid end of this month should be able to buy the belts and waterpump etc.. and as soon as the engine bay is done it will be fitted..

Im not in no rush to be honest just wana get it in and running then everything else can be done in due time.. will be pics as and when i complete stuff

I also highly recommend GT85 penetrating fluid, and it smells nice too...

Pish and tish - GT85 is shyte.  PlusGas all the way, or any genuine penetrating fluid over 'maintenance' sprays.

Ok, my uncle was talking about this previously but I was unable to source it hence ending up with GT85, which is not too bad imo. found plusgas online but they want 12.00 for 400ml, any suggestions where to get some from? Tried all my local motofactors but nothing so far.

why is plusgas so highly rated ??

[thai-wronghorse]

Because it's a dedicated dismantling fluid rather than an all round moisture remover and lubricant.

Well this morning I bought a halfords 3 layer breathable car cover.. Fitted and it's really good can't fault the fitting..

Also how found a place to do the underseal and full waxoyl of the car.. Been quoted £480 Inc vat.. With a 5 year warranty  this will all be done once the car all welded and up and running.
