ripped_fear Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 Skirts are now at the body shop, One is in a bad way but sure it will be fixable. Its going to be melted back together where possible and filled and fibreglassed after. Also collected the other bits, textured gloss black OEM battery surround, suspension top mounts, and the pulleys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted March 5, 2015 Author Share Posted March 5, 2015 Just got a new centre console lid, bought for the clip, so if anyone needs the lid let me know, i have a spare dodgey clip too. Also got some new boot plastics as one of mine cracked, and some oem clips and bits. Got a meet on Sunday evening so need to get the interior back together, and do a few other jobs.

ripped_fear Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 With the excitement building of the side skirts and end caps arriving tomorrow, I decided to give it a quick wax after I got home from work. Got the little bits of the interior back in, and I am deciding what to do with it in there, as I'm considering a different route. Also got the battery case fitted quickly, could do with a little trim but was loosing light. And got contacted last night by Rob mitchell and Ive now bought somthing he had done for his NA chrome bay back in the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendo11 Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Looks great mate, have you treated the sills with anything prior to fitting the skirts? I've noticed a little corrosion on mine from 20 years of it being jacked up so many times! Where did you get the battery terminal covers from by the way?
