It's still far from perfect, 20 years of knocks and bangs are still showing, won't be truly happy with it until it's had a full repaint.
I'm gonna give mine a full MOP again soon, I came to do the bonnet last night but found out my MOP doesn't work anymore... so need to take it back tomorrow for a replacement. Only bits letting mine down really are bonnet/boot and roof. Bonnet should be better with a buff, Johnny is getting me a new boot and I think we're having the roof sprayed. Needs a thorough clean to get the moss out the velvet door liner thingys lol.

Took a drive out to Retro Mania today which was great, plenty of cars there that I grew up wanting but never see anymore
Took the Corsa and got quite a bit of attention
The Volvo in the pictures is our Banger Rally car, trip is in August so gave it a shake down run today to the show.

Haha thanks mate.
The mudflaps are easy enough to fit, with the 14's you may have enough space to work without removing the rear wheels which makes it even easier
I removed the Depo's on Saturday but came to fit the standards and I haven't been given the main beam bulber holder so I had to take them back off
I'll give you first refusal when / if they finally come off mate

Should finish it off nicely and the kit is now fully complete

Fitted my jacking covers and did a bit more fettling to get the kit sitting better, much happier with it now
Ignore the dirt on the skirts and the dodgy number plates, last time I buy a set of plates online, fucking warped junk
And one of the filthy engine bay
