Fitted my alternator after work today and run her up.
Also griffin is now gone off bonnet due to the fact I scratched it whilst doing the wings and it looked tacky.

I think she looks better without the griffin to be honest.

Next week I'm off so I'm getting the front end off like brakes, shocks and springs then she will be lowered.

Cheers yeah i don't think it will ever be coming back as its the third one that has been ripped off because of mistakes whilst putting on or scratches to the surface like what happened now, I'm just chucking money away all her stickers will be gone due to the repainting of the bumpers and such.

Getting there slowly had some free time after work so I decided to get on with finishing the painting on the wing bottom and the respray of the back door where it had run.
It's not perfect as the paint isn't all its cracked uptown be, can't seem to get good paint anymore not like when i done my envoys doors.
But here you goes.

Just need to do the fronts brakes and springs then I can turn her around to do the other side, and respray the bumpers.

Well went out today and got her ready for monday,I've unbolted everything on the front end now so its all loose and ready to come off.
So Monday/Tuesday she will be lower and have brake upgrade on her front end.
Plus the expression wheels are going onto her as the tyres are getting low on them so I'm switching the wheels around.
I'm hoping to have her back on wheels and finished by Friday.

So watch this space for the pics of her progress.
