Cheers Lee.

No real updates as I've been busy with other things, the mould for the front bumper is getting close to being finished though, just got to finish a few small repairs and then make the flanges so it can be bolted together and then it's done.

hows it all going tc

**Tomcat** · Sunday 2nd May 2010, 22:42

Slowly.....lol.

Managed to get the other stuff I was doing finished so I can get on with my own car now, should have the mould for the front bumper finished next week and I've also ordered some window tint. If I can still afford it in I'll be ordering the coilovers for the rear in the coming weeks, so there's plenty to be going on with.

Not really had much time for the car lately, it's just been doing daily service as the run about, however I have managed to buy a few small things latley, bought some new shape wheel centres which have been fitted and I've also got the window tint. Not had time to fit the tint yet and it's been too windy. I have managed to finally get the missing piece of chrome trim for the passenger side rear door, I had to buy it off a guy on turbobricks and ship it over from the U.S.

The mould for the front bumper is very,very nearly done, just got a couple of small jobs to do and then I'm finally ready to make it....yeahh!!!!, can't wait as it feels like I've been making the damn thing for years,lol. I've already got the paint for it and the bonnet so they'll both be getting a few coats before finally being fitted. Photo's to follow in a day or two..

Shame on you TC, get that window tint fitted, you know your the Jedi master at it, just ask your lass ................

Ok, thanks to your mythering Lee I started tinting the windows today, as I only started at 3pm I didn't have a lot of time, I only managed to get the two small windows on each side done. Then I started doing the rear door main windows, I got the first piece almost on when as I was pulling the last of the backing off the damn tint flopped over and stuck to itself, at this point I decided to give it up for today before I lost my rag and smashed something,lol. All in all it took me two hours to cut to size and cover four very small windows, I actualy cut one of them wrong twice(kept cutting it out back to front), good job I bought it on the roll this time,lol.

Hoping to get started on laminating the new bumper tomorrow.. If I can find time.

Finally!!!!!....

This is fresh out the mould so it still needs cleaning up, it also lost a tiny bit of gel here and there but mainly it's come out better than expected...

That'll be cos I had my hands covered in fibreglass, not very good for mobile phones, hence why I didn't answer.

**Volvostorm** · Wednesday 12th May 2010, 19:03
