Tonight i put all the holes in the outer lower front valance and did a trial fit with the bumper brackets in place and all good.

Also recieved a few boxes of Funky green panels today and im very happy thanks to Elton. So i did a trial fit as you do to see how it will look.

Hey there Joe
The but weld took a bit of time as i stuffed up the cut on the drivers side as you can see in one of the pics the gap ended up wider than it shold.
All i can say is take your time when welding the front on with one tack at a time like every one has told me.
As for the butt weld i would do it the same way again.
Cheers Rick
