Saw it on 'the bay' mate, was in milton keynes which aint too far to go really! And it made it all the way home without having to get the RAC involved which is always a good start!  :grin:

looks nice all cleaned up :afro: needs to go lower, get rid of the huge gap between tyres and trim  :wink:
Wouldn't be fun if it was easy, but does it have to be this much fun?

Well, I havent posted on this thread in a long time so I thought I would add a few pics  :smiley:

The mods have finally started happening. I spent most of the year ironing out all of the little problems that came with the car - a new clutch, new brakes, seals, gaskets etc. Now it is finally running well with no issues and I have slowly started spending my limited cash supply on better things.

A few pics of what I have done -

when i got her



fitted a new exhaust



painted the calipers red



painted the wheels




took some nice pics




painted the needles red



my favourite mod so far - a 40mm drop




I wish I had some nice clean pics of her now she's lowered but theres no point getting my detailing (hot water, bucket and sponge) cap on in this weather.  :grin:

Undecided on what to do next, probably a deep front splitter, steering wheel, better wheels and an anni interior (when funds allow). Comments welcome.
