what plans do you have for it john?
wanna swap it for a mondeo estate??

Just keep it tidy, get bonnet and bumper sorted may get rear wiper smoothed off, then just lower it.

Thinkin 16s this time unless some other unusal nice wheels pop up, then go from there, hoping to keep this for 2 years as its basicaslly cost me buttons to buy so i wont loose out on much.

Then when my renewals up in 2 years time i will hopefully be point free, 25, and 4 years no claims, then i can look at changing

Yep, wont be for a while yet, need to save pennys, startin with 5 hours overtime this week

Petes always done top work for me, not many other decent places around, only your shauns place and they sound like they prefer accident repairs more then touch up and mods

Thursday 16th May - Boring bits

Wel after work tonight i set to on tidying up the inner arches and drums and calipers and sills

Arches werent to bad muddy wise, but gave both rears a gud caking of underseal (such messy stuff)

Then i got into it all and decided, to do the drums and calipers

Finally my last job of the day was the tidy up the sills as uk roads and discoloured all the bottoms, so out came the star silver paint and i painted the whole lower sill,

Slowly but surely getting there
