Not at all credit where credit is due that car has come on a long way, the only reason I know it's around 6 years is that's how long I've had my splitter for and it was one of your first

ABS will be your ABS ECU Craig,i remember changing the sensors on my Awd R and that has to be one of the worst jobs ever.anyway after i changed them fault was still there and it was the ecu joints.

The new rear bumpers are coming along nicely, should start to see some major progress now that Uni's out of the way.

**AndysR** · Monday 12th May 2014, 19:55

Looking forward to seeing the progress, and more to the point, outcome of this

And me

Progress from today.

Had some more supplies arrive today so I could get a little more invloved in this bumper build. Added some more shape to the bumper skin around the opening for the diffuser, still needs some more shaping but it's certainly getting there now. Also added some curves into the diffuser itself, the teeth will be added in tomorrow probably.

**claymore** · Wednesday 14th May 2014, 18:50

Loving the way this is coming together

**Tomcat** · Monday 26th May 2014, 20:07

A few photo's of the car at yesterdays classic car show at Capesthorne Hall Chesire, thanks to Mr Evans for the photo's.

I'll be fitting the new intercooler, springs and rear shocks this week while my daughters off school along with hopefully painting some more of the panels under the bonnet.

**S70T5Chris** · Monday 26th May 2014, 20:10

The 70 is looking really well TC. A long way from when you got it

**Tomcat** · Monday 26th May 2014, 20:12

Thanks Chris, she is starting to look a lot better. Sadly there's still a few issues I need to sort but hopefully I know where I'm headed with them now so it's just a matter of time/money.

**Tomcat** · Monday 26th May 2014, 20:13

Oh and here's a couple more updated photo's on the new rear bumper..(Forgot to post them)

On the right car, that bumper will look the nuts

**AndysR** · Monday 26th May 2014, 21:44

Still looking spot on Craig, and as Chris said a fair journey from where it was when you first bought it...
