Bit of a update, started to properly paddy spec it over xmass by takin of the bumper, but then i took of the lights and grill aswell lol
Have new lights front + back, new bumpers, splitter + arch mouldings got ready to go on, have to fit bootlid aswell
Didnt get much time at it lately but in no panic
It got fully pollybushed over the xmass aswell

Next to get removed was the arch mouldings as some clown painted them white and sealed them on, to be honest i was afraid what was behind them as i couldnt see why youd seal them on, thankfully the rear arches are as good as the rest of the shell, has recess to which is rare for japper
cant beat jap shells, next job is to underseal it

Fitted second hand splitter and arch mouldings
