Those look great. Question, where are you sourcing your round headlight grille from?

Hi Josh 
I buy most stuff from this guy in the UK 
gsescorts.co.uk
Does both new and used parts . 
Normal carriage is expensive they quote but if you need to get stuff from the uk PM me and ill advise how I ship items from the uk for around half what the normal couriers charge

Looks like it was worth the wait for the front bubble guards.
 
Looking forward to the next update!

funny you mention GSEscorts for your supplies, i used to order my stuff thru Ian Harwood ltd...before he retired and sold the business to Graham (i think his name is). Ian was a top fella, I'd fax my order thru or sometimes call for a nice long and interestingly funny chat . Anyways i like those bubble guards ,keep up the good work. .

did you see Magnum have matching full rear quarters with bubbles done already as well.
Kinda takes some of the fun out?
 
I amazes me how the metal can be stretched so much when its stamped
Hurry up Bonus we need shots with guards on and wheels when they come.
It will be a full Matchbox car look.

Deano ,
I bought a pair of those rear quarters with bubbles a few years back in the UK they are good . 
I fitted them to a 4 door shell to convert to 2 door . 
I guess I will have to do this again once all the 2 doors run out. 
Wheels still not arrived , I was hoping they would be here Friday .
 
Marty  , your quite right Graham owns GS escorts . Hes a good guy and an escort fanatic . 
Hes also very good at sourcing rare stuff . 
Im trying to buy a proven rally winner type 49 shell from him at the moment for my next project.
