made a few changes this week in between all the rain!
i bought a set of cesaros from a scrap yard and resprayed them in black a couple of weeks ago
then decided i preffered graphite grey so resprayed them again last week
got the tyres swapped over from my slabs and put them on, ive also sprayed the front v grill in the same graphite grey and sprayed the boot lock surround in flame red with the badge in grey and de wipered it.
I took a few quick pics today of all the changes
ive also bought some vectra half leather seats but not sure how to put them in  i havnt had chance to see how different the subframes are with all the rain.

i went out to wales last weekend to watch the cambrian rally and on the way back i took some pics with my mates fancy camera on the denbigh moores.
since the last update ive got some half leather front seats and a set of the pressed metal plates 
jobs to do next is to sort out the cross threaded bolts on the rest of the wheels to get my centre caps on, and get a leather rear bench to match the fronts.
heres the pics:

Bought a new part for the car so added the obligatory addition to my thread!
I was begining to get bored of the peco oval backbox and wanted a change, after looking on here for a while I came accross Mr Turner selling a piper system and after some u2u's picked it up from him last friday ( was good to meet you mate )had a problem with my worn bolts so after a trip to vauxhalls for some new ones i fitted it, adding it to my janspeed decat that i put on a couple of months ago. The only problem i have now is my car now smells lyk a petrol station but love the sound it makes. All i need now is a janspeed manifold to complete it!
Only took a quick one but here it is:
