    Man that 72 B5 is a darker Blue, it nearly looks like B7 for an earlier car, it looks awesome :drool: :2thumbs:

    The body guys called yesterday to tell me the car was ready to come home.
     :bananasmi
    But it's raining today, so not today, not in the rain.
     :nono:
    Meanwhile, I've started trying to piece together the grille.



    But I need a huge favor from someone.
    I need someone to post a close up photo of the area around the nose, marked in the photo with the red circle, as there is material missing from that area and I need a guideline to try to fabricate parts of it.

    Probably.
    But I don't think anyone is reproducing these grilles.
    I think someone used to but the quality was bad.
    And I'm trying to avoid NOS prices.  :money:

    Are we going to get to see progressive repair photos to that grill?   :popcorn:

    Absolutely...
    ...if I make any progress.
     ;D
    But seriously, I have to.
    I don't think there is an alternative.

    Here are some pictures of an NOS grille.  Not mine.  I think I got them from an e-bay add years ago.

    Look what came home today.





    I know I will have to take it back out to put in the insulation, but I just had to install something.



    Finally on the downhill side after more than seven years.
