Progress at last!!
Been down to the garage today and this is what greeted me!
Just to summarise they've removed fitted the new wings, slam panel & bonnet. They've removed front and rear screens and rear quarter windows.
Incidentally when removing the windscreen the glass cracked - it had apparently been bonded in all round and this was the only way they could get it out. Does anyone know of variations I need to be aware of when ordering a replacement? e.g. on the previous one I had a green strip at the top and an inbuilt radio aerial. I'd like to lose the green strip as I don't think the early cars had them - what were the early cars screens like, and is there any difference to the later cars - i.e. can I just order a screen for a 73 car and fit it using rubbers for an 87 car. Anyone's knowledge/tips in this area would be appreciated.
If you look at the photo, try comparing the wheel to bodywork gaps front and rear!!!! They did point out that they've removed the petrol tank though so that will have taken even more weight off the front.
Here's a pic with the bonnet down:_
Finally - Jean, I looked at the rear bumper today - all looks fine - here's a picture of it - I have a higher res one if you want it. Can't see any rust bubbles on it at all.
