well i bought this last august... havnt change that much, but just a general tidy up with a few additions
how i bought it (almost)
it had a hideous blue dash, this was all redone in black before i took pics
(chrome gearknob was changed asap for a vaux one )
i then debaged the rear and tried on my cousins speedlines
sadly he wasnt willing to part with them so it was back to the old wheels
i finally got my backbox fitted that i wanted (magnex 5x3)
i then got hold of some cav gsi alloys that id been wanting for a while
will be sprayin them black at some point when funds allow, still plenty things to be done

I like the alloys that came on it for some reason.
Is that rust bubbles I can see near the rear wiper motor?
I like that back box - just the ride size. Something I'd be looking at for mine

always prefered the cav alloys since seeing Teddys old grey one on the black cav rims... i know theres mixed veiws on here though
yes im afraid it is... there is also rust bubbles all round the windscreen.
all of which will be gettin sorted in time

yea wasnt lookin in the greatest of shapes when i first got it off the woman.
iv had a few niggles with it, most have been easy sorts.
whoever attempted at wiring the fogs in made a cock up and it kept drainin the battery... just pulled out the switch and got a blankin cap and that seems to have sorted it.
central lockin was a bit dodgy, was just a simple clip back together jobby...
worst part was the dash had a look inside and everything was just blue... i spent the 1st 3 days takin off, prepping ans spraying everything black...
oh and K3 i was gonna see about buyin that one... until this one popped up for £600

probably not the most conventional...
but a mains supply drill with a wire brush attachment.
my mate was usin it to clean up his calipers, tried it on my inlet for a laugh and carried on
