New rims! Picked these up from down south yesterday, secondhand but look better than new! Couldnt afford schmidts due to new house, but think these look just as good for far less cash! 13x7 smoor roadsters, fill the arches perfectly

Those rims suit the car perfectly.

I need to see a picture of the car out in the open !

Here you go Ste, pics in the open. The Derby is now insured, only cost Â£171 with Adrian Flux, Bargain! Also got the mot coming up this wednesday, im really nervious, its not been on the road for about 8 years! Heres a few pics, just needs the chrome trim on the sill fitting, but im a bit scared of drilling the sills, Hope you like

Beauty and the beast!

The Derby had its Mot yesterday, and after the longest hour of my life, it passed with flying colours! I was so pleased, the blokes at the test centre really liked the car, cant wait for Ultimate Dubs next weekend!
