Well the EB got its front end damaged last year & was put off the road until I decided whether I would wreak it or fix it, well I have decided to fix it & here is the pics.

Well with the s**t weather tomorrow me & my mate will go over the car to see how many bolts, nuts & screws are missing from the car then go to Pick & Pay less (more I say) and raid the falcons there, I have borrowed a camera for the weekend so some good quality pics will be post to replace the poor quality dodgy phone pics.

As the weather will be good this wk/end the parts will be primed then a light sand, the lights are glued up now, once the parts are painted they wil be fitted back on the car then to install the radiator & thermo's.
I cant wait to get her back on the road as she is way more power then the LANE plus I miss not having a shift kit.
