Default Inbetween the rain, i managed to polish the old girl :)
It was hit and miss the weather today as it couldnt decide weather the sun was out or it wanted to rain
Managed to get out and polish her.....twice...lol.

Not at the moment, i do have a garage but its easier to only store it in there over the winter months instead of gettin it in and out every 5 minutes as shes my daily drive till the crap weather comes back, then the dirty diesel will be back out to play lol

Looks gorgeous, don't crash it racing now

Seriously, looks well - never a big fan of the Escos rims back when i had them, did go to fit them but stuck with 3dr rims - how do you find the ride on them?

@ Racing lol
Everyone slagged these wheels off saying dont fit them they ruin handling, heavy on steering etc etc, have to say they have given me no problems at all! car handles like its on rails through the corners, (new Konis fitted) but i have replaced ALL steering components (bushes, bottom arms, drop links, bushes, rack, track rod ends) it goes on and on lol!

The only issue i have is a tiny bit of scrubbing on speedbumps, so gunna go to coilovers or nibble the inner arch will see what i can afford nearer the time.
