I have painted the parking sensors for the rear bumper, and eventually fitted them in the new bumper. Now everything is ready for the MK2 conversion.

I assume you couldn't find any of the facelift bits around here (Son/Helmond/Eindhoven) could you. I can't! Getting the 80cm boot finisher was a coup (but best throw away the external boot-lock to be 'original'). Facelifts in Holland tend to be very scarce.

Drop me a PM if it would be OK to come and take a look at her some time :-)

Hi David,

It wasn't very difficult to find the parts. Most were of a local scrapyard, and eBay of course. I found the MK2 rear-bumper in a little village near St. Anthonis.
Except the front bumper of course, I picked that up in England (Southampton).

You will have to look good, that's true. But you can find everything.
And you are always welcome!

Yesterday I kept itching to fit the rear bumper, so......

The MK2 conversion has completed now, I think it looks awesome!

What other mods do you have planned?

Dyed my steering wheel, it's looking good again

What other mods:
- Speedo with LCD
- Rear lights (ZT or LED, I don't know yet
- Power folding mirrors
- Fog lights
- Whatever idea comes to my mind, but it has to be Original 75/ZT/7/750
