Time for an update!
In the winter I don't really work on my car a lot, it's way too cold! But I will post some pictures for you guys, so that it's still fun to follow my project every once in a while.
A picture of how the car looks right now:
I've decided to go for the original fenders instead of the polyester ones, since I can't customize the polyester ones in a good way and I don't have the patience for this anyway... I posted an advertisement on internet, looking for fenders. Luckily, someone from Westeinde responded and offered me these fenders (see picture above) so I drove down there, which was a nice ride!
I'm happy with this decision. I think it all looks much better now, they fit perfectly and it also means: less work for me!

So if anyone is looking for polyester fenders, I have new ones for sale!
I also managed to buy two original headlight parts. One of them was in kind of a worse condition than the other one, but I welded it nicely with my new welder.
Looks like it's new again! I still have to fix the back-side, because you can see some thin places after sand-blasting it.
And some pictures of my new asset:

This is my inspiration for the back-side of the car, this is more or less how mine will look.
And for the people who haven't seen it yet, above's a picture of the wheels I bought, Konig 15x7
The polished edge is going to be repowdercoated, in the same way as the face of the rims.
Well, this was is for now! When the cold is over, I'm going to continue on straightening the panels. Once that's done, hopefully somewhere in May / June, I will bring the body away to a sand-blasting company. Afterwards I will seal all the joints. Then, in July, I will bring the car to the car painter, at van Hoof Sport, where I'm part of the rally team. So the next update won't be until somewhere in May / June!
