right so time for an update as its been a while :  :rolleyes:

Went to ED38 - had a good time minus sleep - car went down really well on both days






After running the banded's for around a year - decided it was time for new wheels so I did a deal on these



Super rare ABT A7 17's - 5x100 ET 35 7.5J all round :)

Got them wrapped in some imported Falken 195-45-17's



Fitted them along with some smooth rub strips I painted before a trip down to players








Also fitted new side skirt strips fresh from VW along with an original Black VW Army badge

Since then I've managed to find a super rare ABT wing, dug out my ABT grill to match and found a black VW rear badge to match the front and continue the theme  :cool:





Also became a part of the rockbottom auto team - they had been following my build and speaking to me at the last few shows  :smiley:



Stripped the car down in prep for more paint - found some arch rust I thought was solvent coming through
