My latest VX220 (4th to be precise!)
Discussion
Over the winter I'd dropped on this superb genuine Opel Speedster with only 37k on the clock. It was in pristine condition with the unfortunate exception that it had a little knock on the front resulting in the front lower clam being cracked.
This was the car in its former glory. Always garaged etc no bubbles on it too which is highly unusual for these cars:

Drove it back OK from Leicester you can see here (pic from my CCTV) we just removed the front bit of the clam and headlight here to have a look and see how much work would be needed.

Ended up getting a new lower front clam section. Took the car into the garage and left them to crack on!
Oh I rubbed it all down first after deciding to go for a colour change



While the car was in I got cracking buying a set of new badges and painting them

After a few months and a coat of white paint later I picked it back up!





Delighted with the paint job its really first class. Got the wheels powder coated and repainted all the interior and replaced all the brakes so its in tip top condition now. Last couple of jobs to do are just work out a couple of TADTS's such as the header tank and heater then its done!
