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

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
