Looks like a nice original SS.

Thank God you didn't put flares and a drop tank on it otherwise people would jump on you for wrecking an original car. :gun:

But seriously, well done mate. :spoton:

cheers thank you.

it is a polished stainless mirror much like public toilets ect.

just use a nibbler to ruff cut then linish to shape. wrap the edges in a u channel rubber and sika flex into place.
