I get my new car on Monday so moss may be my first drive in it

Yeah, going to be very busy, will be kinda making it up as I go. Got 2 weeks off so may get some time in the garage, but the kids come first

You'll have to come and have a look

Had a couple of hours on the GT this evening after a day out with the kids. Took the outer sill off the passenger side and have decided to replace the front floor too. I'll take the other outer sill off in the morning.

So looks like new front floor pans, inner and outer sills and new doorsteps. Looks like me and r kid are gonna be busy

Cardboard strips, bubble wrap, brown parcel tape, some space large enough to be able to fit your items and the padding. Also it contains items.

Am I close ?

Yes mate, Best packaging I've ever had. Will use mini spares again

 

And you can definitely tell the difference between genuine and pattern parts

Genuine door steps. Pattern inner sill. driver floor, boot repair and valance closeouts. I had a few panels already from the mini fair in January. I've decided to replace the passenger floor now because it's been jacked up by a muppet and is distorted

Thanks, it looks a lot better in the photos though, but it's a good base to start from. When the kids are back in school I can start welding
