ahoy guys, I've just had a new slam panel welded into my write-off but now I need to put everything back in! There's loads of little holes and what not, so I was wondering if anyone could just post up a few pics of their engine, focusing around the slam panel/radiator area if poss so I can remind myself what goes where. Cheers
Mine at present:

Cheers James for the pic 
FruitBooTeR, the slam panel was an absolute bargain I got on ebay - already painted in arden blue, brand new, £25!
The paint's been marked a bit by the welding/angle grinding, but sanded and primered those bits now and just gona cover it over with a cheap can of arden blue from Halfords.
Paid £125 to have the old slam panel removed, the inner wings straightened, and the new panel welded on all on my driveway by a bloke who works for an accident repair company that my dad got in contact, was all cash in hand.
Has anyone else got any under bonnet pics? Esp ones near the slam panel/radiator area, cheers

That was with all of this off..
Probably not much help though mate, looks lke you only need to put the rad and fan back on which is pretty simple, the lugs at the bottom of the rad go in those two holes, and then the brackets bolt to the back o the slam panel. be careful with it though as you dont want to damage it.

Cheers B3KAN and fro.
Fro, when reassembling, did you put the radiator/fan back in before the 2 grey plastic air guides or other way round?
Also, my horn is loose - it attaches to the underside of the slam panel by the looks of it?

I think i put the rad and fan in first mate.
The horn does attach to the slam panel but can't remember exactly how. u2u lil_g he's not far from you and may be willing to bring his car to you so you can see
