John Williams MK2

To cut a long story short ive owned it for over six years use it as my daily at the minute, starting to show its age now and in need of a revamp. Ive started a new job now so can get a start on it now the loss of my last job the mk2 nearly went the journey but managed to store it for a year.

Basicaly im stuck what to do with it, i want to retain the look of but want to change the colour but dont know what yet so any ideas would be a help.

If it was mine - going on those pics - I'd get rid of the boot and rear bumper and return the car to standard.

I'd also gid rid of the mincing DTM wing mirrors.

Post by: Wayne on 18 February 2011, 23:34: I would put it back to near standard but leave it that colour and height.

Post by: Mitching on 19 February 2011, 02:40: If that were mine, I'd leave it but apart from the rear end.
Put that all back to standard, tailgate, badges, exhaust etc.
And if it doesn't have the quad headlight grill I'd put one of them on too.
