looks good & its not often you see a silver one. imo the best thing you could do now is get the front end chopped off & mk3 it

Looks real nice mate, wish mine was as far forward as yours, i started a thread in here on saturday. Mine's a million miles off!!


Out of interest, whats the rear top shock mounts like on yours? mine have rotted out so i'm going bite the bullet and fit rear wishbones, shocks and tie rods from a car.
