....and the whole front end has come together well....

....the rotten bumper supports were no problem for Barry ....

....and this is the sort of detail I really enjoy .....in Barry's words....

'Looking at your pictures, these little pressings are shortened in order the for oil cooler duct to match up to the slam panel. Using various tools I was able to work out the pressing and end up with flat metal where we needed it. Not very clear, but each ‘pressing’ ends in a little radius in each corner.

Once painted they’ll look pretty factory which is ironic as they were probably pounded in with a blunt chisel at the factory. To be fair, that is sort of what I did.'....

Excellent stuff

Great to see something 'different' - I'm sure Barry gets extra enjoyment & satisfaction from projects like this too ...

That is seemingly very simple but not, and brilliantly executed. How did he shrink the excess from the original pressing? I can't see any heat marks from the pics, so assume beaten and ground off?

Barry never disappoints in any area does he?
Ace workmanship.

Car is looking superb Darren - loving the attention to detail!

Thanks chaps .....

....by different Andy assuming you mean fugly IB

Not at all Darren - by 'different' I just meant as a change from the std 'production' 911's ...
