Really looking forward to seeing what you do with this. I never really thought too much of it back in the day but its definitely something good to stick your teeth into.
I was going to say touring car rep like some others but its not ever really going to be that with the way it has been taken so far, i don't know what i would do but the colour really is not a bit of me, id probably paint it Performance blue how boring of me!.
