She looked quite tidy but scabs were starting to pop up here and there, and the pattern offside front wings was really going on the inner lip along with the slam panel being misaligned (obviously had a small crash repair in the past). Generaly things were starting to tire, so I figured sort it all in one go insted of letting it go too far. Was running an old school stage 2 set up ie light greens, -31 and a well lane chip on the standard T3, later on a T35.

Your right Chris, they do look close. Think I'll put the 235's on the rear, and the 225's on the front...cant really go any skinnier on these rims though tbh.

Not got a great deal done today tbh. Ordered a few more new parts though, a pair of new number plate lamp units and a new tailgate latch to go with the new striker I fitted, a 70mm core black RS500 style intercooler, and a new boost hose to mate said intercooler to new inlet plenum. Not an awful lot left original on this car now
Interior starting to come together nicely....


Sought after part found in local scrap yard

Now the new set of new tyre's is fitted (grrr) Ive given the rims a little clean up..


Im starting to warm to the look of the 35 profiles over the 40's tbh
