Now I am ready for the slam panel so it was time to build it up.

Everything has been either refurbed or renewed (cables).

Firstly ran in the electrics and re fitted the clips.

and fitted the horns

next was the bonnet locks and cables. I lubricated the cables to make sure the wires saw oil all the way through the sheath (knowing what a weakness this area can be

)

Finally fitted the bonnet release. You will see I used all new fastenings to get rid of the old rusty ones. All are M6 fittings mostly 13mm long and the bonnet catches bolts are M6 x 30.

I then offered the slam panel up to the car and held it in with a couple of bolts place before fitting the wiring and bonnet release cable.

The cable was fitted to block with the block turned on itself as recommended by many on here

and clipped home

wiring loom was connected, Horns and bonnet switch tested and then the connector was clipped into place on the drivers side leg

Power steering cooler was refitted to the bottom of the panel

and the panel was fitted in place

followed by the crash beam. I did lift the slam panel slightly to try and close the gap between the bonnet and bumper but until final fitment of the bumper i wont know how the adjustment looks.

next up was the lights. At this stage I only fit the bottom bolts on the sliders and leave the top bolts off. This helps the lights move and fit into position when the bumper is fitted and then fit the top bolts after the bumper is on.

As ever test everything before final fitment

and then everything was fitted ready for the front bumper

Next up the front bumper
