Bit of elbow grease... Clay.... Mer Polish.... Autosol and a few Auto glym products later the brief looking good, so much so the mechanic in quick-fit admitted to having a bit of a semi :)

Replaced steering wheel and annoying whine is away..... 2 jobs to finish (I think) is to take the car to Exhaust fabricator and see if he can quiet it down a little and replace the Alpine CD head unit for a black one and then done.... Possibly replace Dash as something has been srewed into it in the past... A good repair has been attempted but its annoying me a little.

I have prep'ed the replacement bumper inserts and will start to prime and paint tomorrow.

Its running perfectly and is for the first time a joy to own! :)

Let me know what you think.

There's also something not right with the Bonnet/Wing shut line but I will address that next year I think.
