Afraid I have to agree, was my first thought when I seen the bumper.

Back bumper progress:




Here's the actuator on the exhaust:

It actually still works, so I think I'll try plumbing it in first of all, but I'm not sure if it will work on a 2.0 because I assume a 3.2 V6 produces a bit more vacuum than a 2.0 4cyl 16v.

Here's some sweets I was eating 

My feet because I sneezed when taking a picture:

The glider I was flying on Sunday 

The bumper that I have thrown in the skip because it looks like a Combat 2 front and therefore a waste of time

Yea, but I don't think it will be at this rate. No rush really though, it'll be done when it's done
