Right, this is it! The last ever update on this thread!!!

A while ago (before i sold it) i had a photoshoot for online mag Yoco. Today a recieved a CD full of un-edited pics from the photographer. So here are some of them (some quality was lost when i had to reduce them to go into my garage)...













































And thats the end of the project for me. I'll still have some input with it as the lad that bought it is a mate. Plans are for slightly skinnier tyres for the rears and painting the centres Kandy Gold.

And for those that can't be bothered to read through the whole thread (i don't blame you!), heres a quick picture history of it

Nope, and he won't be doing for anytime soon! He's in the same way of thinking as i was for it. EVERYONE has a Momo Team steering wheel, so one of them won't be going on. Its easier to drive with that wheel on, and he see the funny side of how many people it annoys!

End of an era lol

This was a massive inspiration to me, just hope I can get mine looking half as good in the end...

Love the fact that you did what you wanted and didnt care about other peoples opinions, thats what made it unique! best way to be too.

Anyways congrats mate

such a cool car and really do think the end colour was the best, just suited it so much and the rolling shots are so cool.

Nothing at the moment. Paid the bike finance off and some other bills. Had a Cinquecento to run around in which i started to do some mods to but gave up due to snobbery and now its died, so at the moment i'm car-less
