Hi everyone i have been on here a number of years and had a few projects but nothing worth keeping finaly i come across the w reg star silver sxi for a great price of £250 it was very tatty and the interior was covered in dog hair

got her home and immediatly gave it a good clean changed the alloys as the front were cracked and leaking air and fitted a tigra scuttle and my depo headlights
