Cheers lads, was round last night fixing the passenger side door handle as it was missing a screw and the bonnet release catch was needing popped back in! Gave her a clean and polish yesterday and I'm impressed with how clean it comes up
paintwork is really fresh and it fairly turns heads driving it around! Clutch is slipping when driven hard in 3rd so that's a job for winter and the rest il be doing
