thats the one
done a photoshop, and in white it appears less aggresive and the white seems to make it less of a statement, but will obviously reduce engine bay heat
and in white looks cool
its in for paiting this week, so will get a pic up when its done

Wash it, T-Cut it, Polish it, blow the tyres up clean it up best you can and stick it on e-bay.

There will be a decent profit in the car if you make it look a bit more presentable... you can polish a turd... and lets face it... if you got £400 for it thats a helluva return on £80...

Haha I did the same thing... But broke it... Made nearly £500 as it had minilites

Does it run?

Does it have an overdrive gearbox? 4x gears and a swith on the leaver? or to the right of the steering wheel?

Rear axles sell for quite a bit as does interior etc... Youll be suprised not many parts wont sell....
