UPDATE:

 

With the rear end coming together nicely, i decided to go to the front end :p

 

I cleaned/restored etc... the front wipers and alarm system. And tidied up the wiring :)

Ignore the dirty wipe mark below the window on the paint in the above photo, i wiped it with a dirty cloth. But it was cleaned off after ;)

I fitted the shudder panel for now, but didn't put all the fixings in, as it might well come off again.

 

More to come soon !

Update:

 

Recently university has been very demanding and time-consuming, meaning updates have been slow.

 

But another set(s) made :)

 

The interior panels and trim started to get back together

 

http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/attachment.php?attachmentid=182736&stc=1&d=1395944784

 

And the bonnet was offered up shortly to be followed by the front wings.

UPDATE

 

As previously said i caught the buying bug. Shortly after catching this terrible bug - Titan Adjustable ARB's and Polished Cusco front and rear strut braces arrived :eyebrows:

 

They are used, but in like new condition, so was very happy. New bushes and mounts ordered for them. And the brace ends will be resprayed in 202 black and re-polished.

I also was losing the battle with the leaves.

 

The stock rear spoiler also arrived back from paint. Poor photos of it though :(
