Engine Failure... smoothing time!

[mgreenland]

Well the head gaskets gone after it been done 12,000 miles ago, but im going to drop another 1200 in as theres one going cheap nearby with 77k on...

So i figured whilst she was off the road i may as well pull my finger out and finally get sorted what i wanted to get sorted!

So far ive only got 1/3 of the front bumper done, but i was only on for a couple hours... plastic welding with a soldering iron... Im hoping that its going to be alright once its done. Going to be smoothing the bump strip out of the 172 rear bumper too as well as smoothing bullets and painting bump strips.. Oh and i fitted my laguna splitter, Shall update pics as i go.

Heres one for the weather...
