The angle doesn't help it but it does look a little high doesn't it.

When the suspension requires a refresh i'll be fitting something a little better. Love the way yours sits.

Wheels are being refurbished week after next, and i'm on the hunt for a bonnet (Titan Silver) if anyone knows of one local to Sussex.

Been a whle but another update - Car is in having most of the bodywork sorted now, top of the windscreen (i.e the roof and windscreen surround), rear spoiler and osr 1/4 into pass door for a key mark and a rust bubble. Hopefully get it back mid next week, looing forward to seeing it. Also tidied up the interior so apart form the sagging glove box it's sorted inside now. Just need to change the O2 sensor on the exhaust and that should cure the idle...

Well, i'll update again - Sent the car in to have the wheels refurbished and one thing led to another. Changed my mind on the wheel finish so have had the bodywork attended too. Had a key mark on one wing, rust patch and some heavy rust from a poorly fitted screen a while back on the top of the window, a badly sprayed rear spoiler and some small various dents. Here you go!









Expecting the car back soon (I hope) and then I can get on with getting the wheels refurbished, going for a polished (similar to oem look) lip with silver centers and new bolts.

The cost is sort of a mate doing me a favor really, but as far as the work goes i'm hoping to have the car back at the weekend so i'll know more then. The previous work I have seen has been very good. He couldn't get the finish I wanted on the wheels so I decided to have some niggly bits done on the car whilst he had it.
