Some more updates, we did a really rough fit of the bumper, intercooler, radiator and headlamps this weekend just to see if things would line up. I also stipped the interior.

I have seen bad jobs where people have chopped the front end off and stuck some angle iron in at the top and bottom!

So yours is pretty good mate.
