Nose lift nearly done. Cant find the bolts to put the grill on :evil: Gotta go to the motor factors later anyway to get some bolts to put the A bar on.

Got the sound proofing down. Only had enough to get to the second row of seats :evil: :evil: Still waiting for the rubber mat to dry out then I can get the seats back in.
