happnen dod, that exhaust looks massive on it. those alloys in your first pic look big, should have seen them on the 205 , which will be home the mora by the way, if the weather holds up .

thats my brothers old car, he went to buy it back but you had bought it lol i can vouch for how good a shell it is, needed battery tray done but guy that bought it off my brother done an ace job of this! Be glad to see how it gets on get a turbo engine in there he wasnt sure whether to put rs kit on or not and leave as a sleeper so be good to see how turns out and can wind him up a little as he loved this car pml
