Front and rear bumpers have been removed to make way for a set of the special short versions produced by Kirk Evans.

I ordered them before I took the car off the road back in April, but they haven't arrived yet. So looking forward to putting the car on the road minus the steel rear bumper and the 'shark' nose.

Fully rebuilt Alden shockers are here to go on along with full billet axles.

More pics over the next few days.

I'm a bit held up by the exhaust. I stripped everything back and recoated the system with a ceramic exhaust paint, but I wan't happy with the tips. The ANSA sticker had trapped moisture and dirt underneath and this damaged the chrome plating. Also there were some abrasions there that wouldn't polish out.

I had a local exhaust tech roll some 0.8mm stainless into a 70mm ID tube. He welded this over the original tips and then shaped the tube to perfectly match the original ANSA shape. I have the exhaust at a metal polisher today to highly polish the stainless tip covers. This should look perfect and allow me to look after them without the issues associated with chrome.
