I'm Finding My Feet Here Now
Only started to post more recently but have been on for a while.
Projects on here are an amazing read, although make me realise ho impoverished I am
I'm well, you? You at FF next Sunday? Think that was last time I see you, at FF last year?

Paint looks good on the Saff, have read your project thread, it'll be worth it when it's all done.
If you do wanna go but save on fuel, you can jump in with me but I'll be leaving about quarter to 5?!
Will have to pop round and see the Cos sometime.

think ive finally found a back panel, blokes letting me know this week.
been messing around with my new series 1 ive just brought but willl start back on this soon, fitted a set of rims back onto it & lowerd the suspension 2 give me sum enthusiam
rims are a perfect offset, they clear inner arches/brakes & supension aswell as clearing the wheelarch lips!
