The clean up will happen when the dirty stuff is done

is that a new grill?

Hard to be sure if it is new or just painted properly afterwards, looking good though

i do like the colour looks matt black or plastic black and looks good from here (no doubt completley different colour etc to what i see it as lol)

It is painted satin to look like plastic, and its the original grill.

Looking great Ross, keep up the good work fella!

A little update from today..

And more importantly..

YouTube - Fabia vRS Estate

Happy times. Central locking all works as do the windows etc, i've extended the rear wiring and washer pipe as required so all the lights etc work. Be a busy day tomorrow. brakes to sort out and then code up al the ESP system, all good fun.

Nice one!

Oh very nice - must have been a good moment when it fired up after all this time

Hope things go smoothly tomorrow as well, nice to see the Xenons are sorted too!

Plenty of wiring I guess to get that dash fitted again

Great job! Things are really coming along now - Brilliant.

What's the white car to the left? Looks interesting...

S13 200SX, its Ali's (allytech) project. Coming along well.

Baker i'm almost ready for you to 'finish' the estate. We need to have a chat (farmer is puttng a tap in the back of the unit for me )

Onto todays update..

Some cheeky mods going on here as I knw even though it is Wiebos can I am making my own (unit18) mark on it

Dont forget those neons we discussed

Loving the door handles, nice touch

When I'm in the office tomorrow I'll have a gander for the bits that we were looking for - it is really taking shape now though, excellent

Am amazed how well the steering wheel has scrubbed up

What I thought was cool with the rear doorcards was there was nowhere for the pin, which meant you could remove the rods from the rear door locking mechanisms. Less to go wrong in the future, and made fitting easy. Of course, not sure how the estate/hatch rear card has been resolved in this case?

Everthing is from the vRS so its exactly as that was without the rods and buttons etc.

I spy some cunning adaption!

Can't wait to get my "other" painted door handles fitted. Finally went and got a set properly painted to replace my "excellent" DIY efforts.

I was threatened with certain death if I started painting this one - Basil has seen my efforts and to be fair, I reckon Ross has a point

I'm not bad painting things in the flat, but with cars I'm rubbish, much better left to Gary
