How did you fill those holes on the bulkhead?

I didn't.
I just put white electrical tape over them.

Some I have put white sealant in though (on strut towers).

Finally got my car back, after it going back to the bodyshop.

My car is a bit dirty on the outside, so I need to give it a clean and check it out, but it doesn't look any different.

I'm not overly bothered, just glad to have it back.
I need to find out the insurance company and complain like mad. Very bad repair centre (Nationwide Crash Repair), poor communications, poor workmanship...

They did like my refurbed cam cover!

Battery has died, so I'll be refilling the distilled water and putting it on charge.

Rear drivers side caliper is sticky, so need to find another one so it flies through the MoT - which I will need to sort a fog light out for too.

And I also bought x3 Enkei RP01's; I will use two and make a set with the pair of Enkei CPS's I have.

It's MoT time for the Speedboat. I need to wire up the rear fog again, cover the reverse light with some red tinting vinyl, replace a rear caliper (on its way), get a new battery, and it should pass no problem.

Decided to buy a new distributor from Iezura parts (via ebay).
Comparing this one to the previous one I bought, there's a noticeable difference in quality. This one looks pretty much OEM! Very pleased!

Also picked up some new spark plugs too...
