Thanks for the positive comments, managed to get some more bits finished. Thanks to John for sorting me out with the genuine GM glass set.
New rear screen fitted, spoiler and wiper motor etc.
Front screen, need to sort out the bit of annoying dash that has lifted slightly
Sunroof glass, need to sort the final fixings as the replacement uses slightly different mounts.
Rear quarter glass in, need to change the fixings screws over, just used these whilst the glass sealant cured
Managed to find some genuine door seals, but they were with the grey covers seals
Used some of the Wurth plastic dye and they have come out ok

Thanks for the positive comments, its taken just slightly longer than planned, but the goal is to get it completed and on the road by the end of the year. Main things left to do are replacing of the fuel lines, final fixing of the new brake lines and some final trim pieces. Then fingers crossed it starts!

Really great work on this car. Well done.
I did spot these on ebay the other day. 3D printed tow eye covers. Not sure on the quality as 3D printing still needs perfecting but still a better option to nothing at all.
