New tailgate fitted. Another part with no rust on! I am getting posh. I put on a new bonnet yesterday, along with color coded side bump strips, and color coded door mirror fronts.
Can anyone recommend someone in or around Nottingham, who could fit some replacement front wings (riveted and bolted) and front bumper, and tweak the adjustment to get the tailgate and bonnet fitting properly flush? I lost patience trying to get them spot on. They are not overly bad, but I know they are not right, so could do with having it done.
The main word here is CHEAP. I am on a budget that is tighter than a ducks ass. If anyone has any ideas, I would be pleased to hear them. A few beer tokens, a return favor, or a Mars bar and bag of crisps is all I offer at the moment. I will supply as much labor as needed.
I only have the parts as they were being skipped otherwise, so cost me nothing. They are all in great condition, and off a Phase 3. Mine is a Phase 2, but they are all straight swaps, but I do bot have the confidence or knowledge to mess about drilling rivets and fitting panels like that.
Cheers.

My car is a '97 306.

A cheeky bump, as it disappeared cause the forum was busy.
