That photo inside the warehouse looks savage. And the new wheels finish of the look.
She's looking well Allan, i'm a tad jealous.

last june i decided id finally take the car off the road and get everything fixed on her..
dropped her down to albert ad he sorted out all the problems with the wheels, put hi-lo's in it and new discs and lots more which i can't remember anymore!
i then brought her down to my brothers factory and started to tear it apart..it was pretty bad rust wise, but to be honest i thought it would be worse!
the main problems points were obviously the doors, which were both beyond rescue at this stage, bought two doors in good shaoe off albert and put them on..
around the windscreen was particularly bad and looks like the previous owner had fiddled around with it previously as there was a bit of filler around the screen...
below the doors there was a hole and the the sills were wrecked!! the drivers side arch was wrecked too!
so after a little work form my brother, well...alot of work, we got to this stage...
she was then ready for painting...i was thinking about changing the colour, but then decided to stick to the original blue and silver...
After this was all done, we had to put her back together!! and finally she was done!
have a few small niggly part to iron out, but she smore or less finsihed...
have a nice nice set of 7x 13 starmags on order aswell!!

Looks great mate! Last time I saw it must have been when I was doing the engine on Eimears Mini and you called over so I could see where one of the electrical connections went!
