Rare colour that (ish)
Need to sort those wheels though, you must go through bearings and tyres every week!

cheers lads
looked yesterday offset et 40
think it is original grille just took gte badge bit off front
(i havent changed grille maybe previous owner did i've had it 3 years)
never changed a bearing and only changed front tyres due to
over excited at lights and shit :lol:
as for sorting rust, didnt catch it early had to grind half the arch away
for mot then cut and weld a bit of sheet to make it look normal, also
cut away inner arch, weld little plate in to seal inner and outer, so that it
didnt rub on tyre, kind of ok now, corners like its on rails 8) (little bit of understeer)
need to do the cut slits thing on front wings as they rub on heavy cornering

back to the understeer, would softening the back end sort it out.
dont have adjustable suspension was thinking if the tyre pressure at back is less than front might sort it but dunno
any advise welcome

cheers again
