    Just found this, a black mk1 SR, nice!

    Good plans. I'll keep an eye on this.

    cheers connor glad you like it, though its going to need a lot of work before i'm happy with it, as at the moment i'm just annoyed every time i see it and the interior really is awful, the MK2 dash looks like it was put in by stevie wonder and there are wires everywhere. it needs taking out and a new dash putting in with a bit more care i think

    the wheels are a bit rough in places, but will do for now. i'd like some comps or cessaros for it at a later date.

    When Curt had it, we was going to trial fit my comps to see what it would look like, i reckon it would look soo good.
    And i am starting to really like the original 3 spoke, might have to invest in a set soon

    Comps seem to suit everything, I think its just the simplicity of them. The only trouble is they don't seem to like me
    these will be for sale in a while when I've got some replacements

    thanks mate these wheels do seem to suit the car pretty well, but they aint my favourites. i'm not overly keen on the size, as its very hard to get decent tyres to fit

    fitted some late style stalks on sunday, look far better than the standard crap


    also had a root around behind the dash to see the extent of the butchery




    merris has been at it with his axe. does anyone know if that metal bit is part of the dash or separate? (thats looking behind the ash tray by the way)

    also, wtf are these?
    this is under the glove box


    and this is under the column


    I also fitted the new tyres to the rims at lunch


    the tyres seem a bit too wide for the rims though they look like bloody balloons


    and they dont balance up very well


    and fitted! excuse the filth and bird sh*t




    Just need to tax it so I can drive it now. wish my insurance certificate would hurry up!
