Default Finished nose job

It's been a long 17 months and I have replaced everything in the nose. All the sheetmetal, supports, brackets, truflex bumper and lower valenace & spoiler. Whew.. And I updated the headlights to the halo type.

Before

After


The truflex bumper had to be sectioned and the fenders had to be reshaped by about 1/4 of an inch on each side.





Next bodywork and paint

It's almost done. paint needs to be wet sanded and the rocker moldings need to go on and lots of little bits still to do.
