Well last week I managed to 'blend' the repair of the bumper down the 2 thin areas even with rattle cans so that's saved me alot of money on a proper respray job, plus I bought some pressed plates:

Will be fitting mid exhaust up and try 1-man brake bleeding tmorrow if the weather plays ball.
On the lookout for a backbox heatshield, then I can finish the rear and whack its wheels on so I can roll it back and fit the bumpers etc.
CHEEEERS!
