Welcome oma, no need to be embarrased!
Liking the alloys, are they MIMS or just similar?
Cheers

Hi all, ta for the welcome.
Its a little too far gone for a resto (that was part of the reason I wanted a modified one - I wouldnt feel so bad about changing it myself then) so I'll be stripping the trim, glass and interior soon so i can get a good run at the bodywork.
Front wings and jackpoints are shot and theres plenty or superficial rust to keep me busy for ages. Little nasty bit under the roof gutter too.
So far I've managed to salvage a pair of genuine replacement wings, otherwise I'm hoping to repair the rest. The car will be staying black and will either go black plastic bumpers/standard trim/silver stripes or de-trimmed with chrome bumpers (??????!).
I prefer the look of smaller wheels on a mk1 but the wheels on it at the moment are 15" MIMs which I should polish up before I decide whether to keep them or not (should get some decent brakes under a set of 15's, it gets alot trickier with anything less). Given a chance I think they could be pretty sexy, what do you think?
Engine is a 1.8 later PB Mk2 Digi, it's chipped and cam'd, but really needs some tlc. I'm hoping to get it out to work on while the car is getting its paint prep work. The car should go well enough for now methinks
8).
Its the interior thats giving me the headaches at the moment. The dash (poor thing) is curlier and soggier than a welsh tramps house. So it needs replacing.. but what with? :dontknow: Any ideas?
There we go, the next time we meet, you'll already know everthing about me and I'll have nothing left to say
Cheers guys

On the wheels, what do you think about the centres:

I see photoshop has been put to use already! I think they will need centres if you polish them, but these won't be too hard to make up.
Didn't know you had new wings for it though!
I'll have to come down and take a look at how bad it's got as it must have been sitting there for a good 2 years since you bought it!
I'll have a think about the dash for you and see what I can come up with…
Later,
