Well I bought her alomost a year ago now off a mate who was given the car but couldnt afford to run it aswell as his day to day car. When I got her she looked a little sorry for herself having been sat outside for 2 years or so. I used her for last summer as she stood whilst her new home was being built, once that was completed I put her off road and started the renovations in the dry.

 

I took the random stickers off along with the Halfrauds Spot Lights, put some new number plates & badges on - then the hard work began !! I used a product from 3M to cut the paintwork back, cleaned & treated the roof and finished off with a couple of coats of AutoGlym HD polish on the bodywork. Ive had my wheels back from being refurbished today so will be putting them on this week and shes good to go for the summer - roll on Friday !!

Cheers guys, the wheels are the same a Momo design but I dont think they are Momo - I quite like them on there so might keep them aswell as the originals. They are kerbed right around the outer edges on all 5 but without being close its not that noticeable.

Very nice mate.

 

There's not one thing wrong with it. It look perfect.

 

And to say it'd been sat outside for two years it didnt look bad at all on the first pic.

Slight update today.

1 - The original wheels are now on (minus one centre cap that I left at tyre fitters). They look at little small after taking the others off but I'll get used to them.

2 - Exhaust tail pipe cover removed & standard exhaust polished up.

3 - Third brake light reconected.
