Not usually a fan of gold wheels, but that looks really smart. Better for the suspension tweak too. What's next?

Mesh the front grill and then have the car under sealed.
Try and patch in the peeled flock untill i can get a new dash
Car annoys me - has loads of little marks and shit touch ins and that. Needs a respray but im not willing to spend on one. Need to remember its twenty years old and actually really clean for its age

Looks great on those wheels.
White vinyl wrap a cheap option for hiding the blemishes for a bit?

Me too, never been over impressed with wrap jobs I've seen up close. Thought it might be a reasonable half way house for you though.
I lose sleep over paintwork on cars, it's a really expensive problem to have tbh

Took the coilies of as seals are fucked and fitted tein springs to standard shocks
10x better
Vid of coilies needing rebuild
http://s209.photobucket.com/user/corsabadboy/media/DE435835-E20A-4D5F-9AF2-EDC63361820E.mp4.html
Coilies removed to sell on to whomever may want to repair em


Had a bit of a fuck on with the tein springs not seating correctly in the struts due to the tails being in the wrong place
Out came the grinder

Car still sits well - not quite as good mind

Curbed my wheel so thats off to be painted too
