Ok, so today first up I sorted out the headlights and got them all working properly. Then I got the front
all fitted up, and yes another prick of a job.
I just put on an old bonnet bar for the time being until my other one comes back from the chrome platers, just so
I could see what it looked like all together.

Still waiting for the front to come down :? but still have to fit all the interior yet as well. Anyway just a few
shots of the front fitted up and one of the A/C in place.

Mission accomplished Malcolm,

frats,
Rosco

Really, really nice work Malcolm, car looks bloody awesome.

Just a question have you thought of blacking out the yellow in behind the grille? Not sure if it is a factory thing or not but it helps make the front look just that bit better. Changed mine when I did it, after 3 months of driving :oops: :oops: :lol:

Body must need it, Malcolm - RB has good philos0phy on this something a little permanent for my liking, though......

bet you've got a smile on your face tonight - give you something to do in your meal break - short list priorities in sequence.....................

frats,
Rosco

Well Mal.

The end is nearly in sight, the chrome work is highlighted brilliantly, by your choice of colour, you've added your own style and dimension, to be one of the best looking EK's on the street.

Congrats....................................

It's a credit to you Mal, well done.

Regards John
Personal opinion I'm with DR, on painting the inner grill area black. I believe would gain that wider appearance look.
