Installing the front bumper

Using some new and big washers etc. to mount the front bumper. The fit is not to bad but I find the front gap to widen the sides are almost perfect but you can see that the bumper is leaning forward a bit. I will take it off again and try to get the gap in front a little bit smaller.

At last I found some fasteners to keep the air induct at its position, another issue solved.

This was it for 2011, hopefully the car will be on the road within a few months.

 Things still to do are;

·         refurbishing the car seats and rear shelf panel (trim shop)

·         adjusting the rear exhausts (body shop)

·         install the rear bumper and fog light

·         buy a small (MG) spare wheel

·         check the rev counter (isn’t working at the moment; probably bad contact in dash)  and the wiper delay unit

·         carburetor adjustment (workshop)

·         lights and wheel alignments (workshop)

·         polishing the paint work (body shop)

·         MOT and homologation (the hardest part…)

The list is getting shorter.

Happy New Year to you all.
