Ok today i thought i would get stuck in again as its nice weather and the missus is working;
Car out and door first door off:
Other door off:
Bumper off, ready for pick-up on monday. Going to performance-trim so have a fully replicated real carbon fibre copy made! CANT WAIT for this!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Doors layed out, powertools out, resulting in a neater and more cut out door:
Spot welds on the inner door bars that remained in drilled out, spot weld remover from screw-fix worth every penny:
Tar square removed:
With the carbon fibre door cards:
Just a bit more shit removed, weighs so much!

Preparing my gsi fog lights for when they are transformed into indicators in the distant future, when the car is ready, and i have morettes.
All i need now is some super bright motorbike indicators which i can remove the lense and shive the bulb in the hole and secure with a glue gun  !
Genuis!

Good progress
Make sure you plate the heater matrix hole with some metal that's rivetted/welded in place. If you have an engine bay fire with the hole there/plastic covering the hole you're going to be in serious trouble.

Nah, i didnt take anything for him.
For me, it was the easy way out.
Due care and attention is fuck all in the world of "convictions"!
Yes i would MUCH rather have spent the £375 on the corsa
But on the other hand, still ordering some stuff from robin today !
