Once it is built back up I'm wanting to get a new windscreen fitted as there is a resin filled crack on the current windscreen.
I've got a brand new windscreen surround to fit as the current has rust bubbles. Wanting to send the car into the Touch-Up guys in Glasgow and get the full car re-sprayed. Little bit of paint bubbling on the sunroof needs sorting. Got a spare bumper which i'm wanting to cut up to make a shortened plate recess front bumper. Get all the black plastics painted gloss black. Also get the swage lines on the front and back bumpers smoothed and maybe the top half of the handles smoothed
