I spoke to the bodyshop today. They have painted the bumpers and the bonnet. One of the holes been welded up and the broken check strap mount on the A-pillar has been welded up. I should be getting it back Saturday week  :)
Look forward to seeing the finished item :y

I have been busy today. Got up super early and headed over to Hertford (40+ miles) for 8am to start putting the beasty back together again. When I got there everything was shiny white instead of faded white and bits of silver.



Having spent the best part of four hours rebuilding, this is what I took home.





I spent the afternoon putting the newly painted front bumper on (I came home with the old one on the car) and started installing the light bar and some aerials. The livery goes on towards the back of next week  :)

The guy came out to fit the livery for me today. So the car is now largely cosmetically restored but there are a few things still to be done. The next major task will be the electrics!!

No. All Police crests are subject to Crown Copyright and you would require the relevant Force's permission to use it. I have asked but, as you can understand, due to the security climate, I was not given permission. The point was that restoring a Police vehicle is one thing but having 'sponsorship' from the relevant Force is another.
