Sparkystav Gutted mate.
There's some good front ends out there go car pcs.
Yeah first tried centrafuse but it kept crashing on me so then i thought i'd try riderunner (aka roadrunner) but having trouble configuring it, also i could only fond an old version of RR (v 1.0) the site where all the links leads to (NISU Automotive) is broken or no longer up.
So may just leave it for the show and use windows tiled menu to navigate for now.

Any way started on touching up a few little spots but haven't taken any progress photo's it's threatening to rain again and i'm pressed for time...

Here's one of the spots after its 3rd layer of primer once dried i'll have to sand one or 2 back to get them smooth again...

I'll get there in the end the only eye sore i won't be able to take care of by my self is the crack i the top of my bumper but that i'll sort out in time for next year 😁

This is after the second layer of colour...

eventually had to pack it in as the rain started coming down, but not before i managed to get the first layer of lacquer on, today when i get home i'll sand it back and get another layer of lacquer on. other than that i have to tackle some overspray issues but should be easy enough to sort out :blushing:

Sparkystav reasonably easy job?

Yes was ok,had to pop the top wishbone ball joint, abs wire and anti roll bar link, then 3 top bolts and one bottom bolt then wiggle off.
Coil Spring as 2-3 coils toward the bottom that are tapered, so as I was using an "old school" compressor clamps I couldn't grip as many coils as I would have liked.....anyway all went to plan and money well spend .

Drove the B4 to see some of you at JAE, added 5 more bhp by adding a few more stickers and now i'm having lunch in Llangolen, on my way back home, so did a lot of driving to my car 😁

Went to the scrape yard got myself a new drivers side rear light without a goldfish swimming about in it. Also picked up some chrome kick plates, a lambda sensor, the plastic bit out the cup holder and a battery bar. £25 all in. Quite tempted to go back and grab the diff!

Yeah proper cheap, I was expecting to pay that for the lamda sensor alone.

Got a quote from Lexus for one... £192!
