then my water pump decided to colapse before the bad weather so baught a new one and fitted that aswell as a new radioator





i then decided to make a start refurbing the cesaros in question



sanded down



primered



laquered



other alloy



and tyre fitted never really got any others sorry



gsi bumper primered and ready for paint



while i was waiting for paint i baught a better set of calibra leather another set of rear lexus lights custom leather for the back chrome heater vents and maybe a few extras i aslso baugfht a new boot carpet too

car stripped out



rear lexus lights



tinted windows



then my car decided to get reversed into yet again on the driverside leaving it a right off so i then decided to give her yet another chance and redeemed her from the scrap yard i got a new wing filled the dints and painted it painted my door and my gsi bumper and fitted along with my alloys and a new bonnet and coilovers















so thats pretty much the main bits of what happened to my car in the last year wehat do you guys think good and bad comments welcome as usual...
