Day 51 - More Progress
The car is now completely straight and panels aligned. The passenger leg was bent backwards, but this has now been rectified using the fancy jig setup they have. I'm just waiting to hear when the car can be transported back to me. Excited as its starting to actually look like a car again even if I know the front end has to come apart again.

Here you can see the gap left if you dont buy or re-use the stick on rubber seals from a BRZ especially if you are doing the 2017 facelift bumper retro fit like im doing. I have the seals on the shelf to stick on when the car gets back to me:

Finally I picked up a super cheap set of used Rota Grids 18x8.5 et44 they need a refurb and are currently sitting on a new set of budget tyres Avon ZV7 that came with them, these will keep me rolling while I work on the car and will allow me to sell on the stock wheels which have decent tread and have been painted black by the previous owner. Eventually I will replace the Grids but for now they look better than the stock wheels:
