Right. Big news.. sorta And apologies to you, and my future self, for the lack of updates between the previous post and now. Regardless; the car is more-or-less back together! I have been very much enjoying sitting back in awe of what's been accomplished... but I'll save all the sappy stuff for the big one.. rego! Car went back together relatively easily. I did however learn that masking tape is a biiiitch to get off things once it becomes old. However, that said, I am thankful I used at least something to hold certain bolts/nuts in certain places... it certainly aided in the midst of the "where-the-heck-did-that-bolt-go?" Situation. The interior, though it's pretty banged up, is great to see put together. I loved the fact that it took about an hour to put it in! A lot of dirt came off the parts. It's been a while. I am not entirely happy with my rear window rubbers and how they sit. Front bumper apparently doesn't fit anymore! Jono C. (Green Sprinter) had mentioned he had difficulty refitting his because the mounts would bend apart and away from each other... but i have a different problem. Mine no longer reach the bolt holes. The chrome bumper itself hits the stonetray/valance/whatever you wish to call it before the mounting holes line up. I suppose this is an after-effect of all the surgery. By the seems, this means my car is ever so slightly narrower in the front. By...2cm or so peobably. The car looks amazing. Yet there is still much to do. In fact.. i have a list written on my phone that still does not fit on the screen. But, optimism is key. It's all uphill. She's closer than ever before. For now, just gotta keep my head down and cross things off the list. And of course enjoy the occasional sneaky drive ;)
