looks really nice(not the wheels though in my opinion).

got the wheels and the steel bumpers, wheels hubs and bumper end caps, gona see what offers are made, easier to say yes or no then

i'd have this off you if i wasn't saving for a trip to new zealand at the end of the year! you should sell it 6 months later when i have saved up more money! LOL!

if i bought it, i'd restore it to be as original as possible as i already have a modified mk1.

my driveway would be so lucky!

good luck with your sale mate. i hope you get what you want for it and it goes to a good home.

felt like messin about so dug the steelies out








can also see the arch me and my dad did a few weekends ago, got drivers side to do, its only really the lip on the arch thats crusty but i decided to get fresh metal there, so as soon as both arches are done she goes for respray, gnna get wheels sprayed up and get the bumpers back on, slowly coming back to its original self, also got to put the suspension back on and get shut of the back breaking coilovers, 3 of 4 tyres on the steelies are probably as old as the car so i may buy new ones soon, still… any offers am listening, but no silly ones like £1000 which i declind, thanks, ben

also, about bumpers, when i got the car the bumpers werent cromed, they where like basic silver, same as steel wheels, dont think they have ever been crome tbh, is this normal or are they always meant to be crome?

final arch:







getting closer to respray, around the fuel filler now then its ready,

few pictures, new swallowtail bonnet on, it was damaged in a number of places and set me back time wise but oh well, respray time?
