    Firstly, I want to appologise to those that wanted to view the car and we have not been able to organise a mutually convenient time. Life has been pretty busy and i have not finished the little jobs i wanted to do yet....

    So, here is an update and some pictures.

    I uncovered the car this week and took a few photos of the arches and the dented valance for you all to see. The car HAS NOT been washed and has been under a cover for a few weeks after being outside uncovered for a few weeks. It still looks pretty presentable though which is a testament to the paintwork.

    first the arches...

    now the dented valance. You can see the bumper being preped for spraying (black). The indicators were removed for spraying as was the support bar underneath.

    The bumper bar could be seen inside the indicator hole. The bumper had some minor surface rust but looked very solid. I did not remove the bumper cover and inspect the whole bar however.

    I finished prepping and painting the bumper today...very pleased with the result.
    I will do the front valance trim to match and possibly the rear bumper to refresh.
