Isn't there a red boot lid knocking about from Tom's car somewhere down there? I think it might be in front of my car in the store room...

Mazin bodgery of the highest order today!

basically the front bumper came off as the brackets we made to attach to corners near the arches were wank.. cunning plan came to light involving bonnet pins..

Also refitted the bonnet after being painted and the arches have been bonded on..

just need the side skirts fitted, putting back together, wheels on and a polish..

Some very bad pics from my new phone (alledgedly 2 megapixels)

James.. will use it for a few months while the calibra gets new suspension bushes, fuel lines and possibly brake lines and a clutch. Then hopefully will sell it in the spring..

hamish.... probably.. but it is bolted in under the bonnet and underneath also the mounts by the arches were missing and my fabricated steel brackets fell off
