Default My 3dr

Hi there,

just borrowed a digital camera for weekend as I needed to email some pics of my car, thought I would post them up here as well.

Would like to know if you think my car looks better as is now or if I should put on lower spoiler I have, as I think it looks ok without.

I have had the car 13 years and it has 66k on the clock. I have also kept all standard parts in case I want to go back. It is standard mechanically apart from a mongoose, collins chip and genuine 500 cooler.

Any body any ideas what I can use to restore steering wheel back to black, as it is not worn just gone off colour.

Sorry about background on pics as garden was only place I could take them this weekend,
















Hope they come out ok as this is my first attempt at posting pics

and yes it does fit through the green doors straight through garage and out of front of house. At least no one can get it out without a crane or breaking through the house.

hope to see some of you at some of the shows, as I have just started going to some again after about a four or five year gap, I seem to be getting interested again.

Darren

ps and thanks stu, I had both brown and blue sensors off you and car seems fine again, running great and plugs are brown again not black

thanks again

Thanks for comments, it might look clean but underneath has never been painted, so I would like to take off beam and clean it up under there, but do not seem to be able to get round to it. Especially as it appears that I may have to remove engine this year as my oil consumption is a little high even though it runs fine. Looked under car when at MOT this year though and doesn't appear any rust anywhere, but I do keep spraying waxoyl underneath so just hoping it works.
The door is about 2 inches wider than the mirrors on car so plenty of room.

Darren
Might see some of you at shows so if you see my car introduce yourself.
