Udara, I finally made it over to my storage space and grabbed the rearview mirror. Unfortunately I had forgotten until I dug it out that it's in less than ideal condition. It is structurally fine, but as you can see the top layer of plastic is slightly flaked off and there's some wear around the edges of mirror itself. But if you can use it, I can ship it to you in the UK...

My Sprinter Carib is now quite close to being completed, so i thought i'd share some pictures...

I'm not entirely happy with how the brown (4b5 Brown) turned out on the lower part of the car, as it looks to be too light- so this may need to be repainted in a darker brown, before the car gets shipped over to the UK.

But i still need a few small bits (such as the windscreen surround trim and a brown centre console) - if anyone is willing to ship these to the UK, i'll be interested! (i'll pay of course).

Progress is good, i’ve attached a few more recent pictures of the car here..

Little bit annoyed that the bodyshop painted the two tone brown the wrong shade - i’m going to get this repainted before the car is shipped to the UK.

I’ve finally managed to source a parts car here in the UK - so I will be taking the complete drivetrain to put back into my Spinter Carib (since mine had been converted to Diesel).

The parts car also has a clean brown interior which will also be going into my car, i’ll attach a few pictures of the donor car when I get a chance. Feels a bit sad taking one of the last remaining Tercels (in the UK) off the road - but it will be for a good cause!

Thanks,

Udara

I like the painted bumpers. I personally wouldn't do it, but I think they look sweet!

Thank you!

I only wanted them painted as my car came like this from factory (in the correct brown of course) - similar to the one in the attached picture.

I’m trying to get mine to look as close to this as possible!
