I sold it to my mate who just let it go and it ended up all rusty

Seen it for sale in 2005 and really wanted to buy it but at the time was in the middle of my Corsa GSi project so wasn't a good time

Ooft, lovely.

Don't want to sound like a nob, but is the rear bumper not sitting properly in the new pics? Where it meets the arch.

put your mind to anything and u can do it if it takes time or not

u just gotta work hard to get something u want.. took me ages to save up for this car but it all paid of in the long run

so happy with the car and the way she gets attention from all the old men up the town its amazing. now and again u get stopped and asked about her and it amazes me how much old men love there novas

so the car was in the shed the past few days, sitting there so i decided to take each wheel of a detail them with meguiars hot rims

the front wheels where the worst, covered in muck, tar etc so i snap afew pics up of how they turned out, end result was amazing. chuffed with the turn out. detailed the rear wheels also but no need to take pics cause they weren't that bad

before:


after:


this was the worst wheel. before:


after:


after i done this i polished the car and left her in the shed for afew days then come today weather was decent enough for me to take her out and get some snap shots







quality is awful due to pics taking from phone. comments welcome....
