Small update had the rear quarters looked at by dent craft yesterday to remove 3 small dings.To do this I had to strip the rear of the car out so he could work his magic which he did and the car is now dent free and looking very mint both sides

While the trim was out I gave the boot and where the rear seat goes a good clean and vac out found a few pound peices too

After the cleaning session inside I decided to play with my front grill badge which I got way to much black paint on

got a new one on order but fitted the old one still so I could see how my red line round the badge looked still undecided about it

.Just waiting on the new badge now and ill see if i like it still

Thanks for looking.

Well I havent really updated my thread in a while so here goes not to much going on but hopefully car should be how I want it to look soon.Full stainless steel exhaust system has been fitted but its slightly loud so thats going shortly and Ive replaced it with a power flow system bought of here.The car has already got a 30mm drop and as ive got 3 kids dont really want to go to mad lowering it so got some front springs 50mm drop and leave the back as it is havent fitted them yet but will shortly.Bought myself some new roof bars as Im a keen fishermen will come in handy but think they look cool on the car.After ive sorted the exhaust out and lowered the car up front ive got 2x drianage plugs to have welded at the rear and then its front end ,tailgate and lower drivers door is being painted.Wheels may get a colour change have to see but wont change much more on it still want to keep it as it should be really a anniversery plus I set out to keep the car from oweing me more than £2,000 which so far im still well under.Thanks for looking all comments good or bad welcome

The loud system looks nice and its very well made but little loud for me.
