Looks like you've done well on that car 
Just I think a standard set of vaux wheels would be better, like slabs or something. IMO.
other than that

The standards are in the garage, they need a proper refurb because there not holding pressure. THey may well be past it going by the state of the one Ive taken a tyre off. Those wheels were bought just to get it roadworthy and they had 4 decent tyres. I'm not a huge fan of them either.
Its had:
-2 new wishbones
-4 new springs
-new strut tops
-new handbrake cables
-new exhaust system
-new thermostat
-new sfi hose
-both coolant sensors replaced
-belt, water pump and guides
-new drop links
-brakes freed off
-both bumpers painted
-wheels painted
-new number plates
-new plugs and leads
-coilpack replaced
-new battery
-all arches and floorplan undersealed
-interior shampood
-new gear and handbrake gaitors
-g3'd then g10'd then waxed
-replaced an indicator lense
-new side repeaters
-new drivers mirror
-both mirror caps painted
Theres more but I cant remember, just been never ending. Drives spot on now though and pulls well.

I think it looks very nice.
The wheels work I feel, because they are the kind of wheels you expect to see on a cav, almost like this was a common wheel "back in the day" for cav's.

More than likely, I work at Summers just round the corner.
Price wise I'dbe after £1500 if I let it go, any less and I'd be aswell keeping it for the time I've put into it.
