After realizing that I haven't actually made a project thread for my car I think I should.
I bought it as a spares and repairs project for £360 off of eBay
It needed a new rear axle which I've tried showing in those pics, new front wiper blades, several bulbs, brakes all round, 2 tyres, N/S/F driveshaft seal had perished, MOT, tax and a good loving on the outside because of marks like these
Well after being flatted then mopped, polished, de-roof railed and de-rear wipered it now looks like this
I have also fitted M3 mirrors and an unvented laguna splitter
and this is where I am with it at the moment, I do have some more ideas I'd like to do to, I'm not finished yet :-D

Cheers Frosty, we have cleaners that come round early in the morning and clean the whole building so being messy isn't anything to be worried about, I've made so much mess in there, they weren't happy after I done my axle swap lol
