the tail lights and garnish simply need a good clean and polish, they've been sitting in storage for a long time!

John_XR6, why don't you shutup and let Steve do what he wants? Jesus! He's spent this much time and money on it, I'm sure he knows what will look good and bad on it.

Oh, and steve, the left hand side of the boot looks out of whack. What's caused the line to shift along the bottom of the garnish?

Garnish doesn't look anywhere near as bad as I thought. It's either that or EB Fairmont with the orange taken out of the bottom, but I know you and Dave have an EA tail light fetish. I can see orange indicators killing it.

only 3 of the 4 garnish bolts are done up, that may be effecting it (unless steve put the other one in today)

theres no boot latch in there yet either.

If you mean the bootlid gaps, the lid neads realigning, plus i have not put in the rubber stops so it's a little out of whack atm...

Oh and as john said, there is no latch in there yet :/

I've had the car for 5 years, but only really started modifying her to this extent about 3.5years ago. This round of mods took me almost 2 :P

^^hey yeh it does a bit eh!
rymers if the polish dosent bring up the black bit of the boot garnish better than you should get that part re-sprayed do it blends in nicely with the tint on the taillights.
