Default Touring Car or not

My 3 door is a ongoing project.

Its built from a shell up, so aint genuine so i dont qualify for the Bufty Club.

Im Torn Between 2 ideas

Keep it as is (looking Standardish)



or

Strip it out, Cage/ Buckets and RS500 Texaco rep decals

Yea i like it as is, but i tend to go off in one sumtimes and before i know it i have the car in bits.

Since it gets the tits ragged of it, I thought a look chnage might be a good idea.

It looks gorgeous the way it is - I LOVE black 3dr's on Escos rims! But if your keeping it standard looking, lose the RS500 stickers

On the other hand - there isn't a harder looking 3dr than the Texaco liveried monsters!!!!

RS500 touring cars are so sooo hard looking....

Love the Texaco livery but theres lots more out there.

Got plenty of ideas for you in my glass cabinet, one of my other faves is the Mobil livery.

Its got to be something ill do one day

I nearly bought that old texaco 3dr but someone had robbed all the good bits and was trying to flog it as something it wasnt

Id definately go for texaco look but got to be done properly not just a few stickers and a bucket seat

I reckon im gonna strip it and Track it, but ill keep all the bits as the Interior just now is MINT and if i get bored ill put it back the way it is just now

Aberdeen peeps: You wont have seen it as i bought it from Manchester a few months ago and have been doing it bit by bit, and due to my hand being fucked just now, its not getting driven but i have had it in town a few times.

Oh and the Shonky RS500 Decals are gone

All its waiting for is its new Engine as it currently dont have a running one lol

Ahh the shopping list Grows by the Day.

David im keen on a fooked one if its cheap (if its my old one.bery cheap )
