Default My 3dr `RSty` resto small update 18/02/11

called up to see spesh with wing,bonnet,adjuster,lock but not hinges Doh!

only a small update as didnt get much chance,bit of a flying visit,there has been a hell of a lot more done than this its just all i had time to take a pice of

gotta say always feel welcome when i go there proper nice folk

spesh id making good progress with the repairs

wont even know its been done,in fact if it wasnt a different hue you`d not know




Spesh brought these out for me to see which instantly agreed should go on as the orriginal are buggered



whilst there a secret was let out of the bag regards Beefys soon to be disclosed colour change,as you can see its a far cry from the much publicised stournaway grey



sure looks funky eh folks?



then called by beefs to say hello and eat my parmo - cheers mucka


as i say its a small update as beefy said he was going to call by Karls tomorrow for a few more pics etc.
