Also got the lower engine cover fitted, was dead easy but the sump access hole is in the wrong place and needs to be modified

It has some wheel arch welding to be done as it won't pass mot like it is, so I have repair panels ready to go salvaged from an old DTM.
Then I have a long list of jobs to do to get it how I want her but important things first.

Re: Newbie rolling resto.
So found a lovely wet patch near the rear passenger light in the boot, thinking seal or the sunroof drain has come loose.
Also my lovely roof spoiler keeps coming loose, the sealant is rubbish.

Not much done recently, managed to pick up a brand new pair of FAI front wishbones and finally got hold of a straight rear partial shelf

Re: Newbie rolling resto.
So a few months without any work done. Bought a few bits for the spares box, also found a straight parcel shelf
Got some headlight covers too in good shape.
So its that time of year, MOT in 5 days hoping that all I have done over the past year is improve it, so all I will be doing this week is refittiing the door cards and sill covers, tbough can't remember how the sill covers go, checking the handbrake adjustment and giving the lights a once over.
Fingers crossed this will be a paperwork exercise
