She can see again !! The rares headlight retainer screws were a bit bigger than original so I had to tap them out, The rest of the screws, springs ets come from a bolt supplier.
Have to finish buffing the grill bits then that can go back in.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
Bit more bling, door rubbers and a DIY wheel alignment in the last day or so.
I've got a few more bits to paint, all the door windows to put in, buffing more panels and polishing strips so still a bit more time to go.

Would be better if the budgie was actually a blower mmmmmm ??
I'm going to start driving it up and down my driveway shortly just to get the small bugs out and hopefully in a couple of months I'll be done !!!
