done a few bits there over the weekend doesnt look like much but chuffed with what i got done
hit the arches in a bit more as spring were catching ever so sligtly
repainted arches and drums
fitted my new colour coded door handles and 2 checkstraps
gave the interior a little clean
fitted smoked depos and osram nightbraker bulbs a replaced a couple more bulbs
i know the d/s light is a bit lop sided but the little white clips that the screw goes through one is mangled
just waiting on my new longer wheel bolts so i can fit my camber bolts and spacers lower it properly and get it fully laser aligned
also have opel mudflaps on the way up to me

picture of the bated arches lol

picture of new gearstick gaiter

size of the box for two little camber bolts lol

just need to sort out a backbox now i am currently running without as the last one broke will get it booked to get a standerd exhaust to do me for the time being
