Is going in the body shop before the end of the month to have a few bits done ie: new front panel and painting of the engine bay, the tow eye cover is non genuine plus i stood on it by accident so doesnt fit to well this will also be being sorted. I am also undecided wheather to change the wheels, It is a hard choice as it looks perfect standard.

As i said suspension will be raised tomo, was very bored today....

Cheers for the comments

Nice.

Got a soft spot for the old series 1, reminds me of years ago when a neighbour had one

Don't like the clear indicators though, the cars are now too classic to get away with them IMO
