Posted: Mon Apr 07, 2008 9:11 am
well, here she is... my show car, my pride and joy...
I've been doing alot of thinking and re evaluating whats important, and unfortunetly, the car has to go, i want to buy a house, and both in the picture isnt going to work....
where to start....
i bought the car back in may 2007 last year... i paid 2800 for her, with some leather and polished d90's, on some lowering springs, and was content for around a week...
the car then went in for a full respray, to bring it back up to perfection, those of you who know the car will know how good the job was...
i then set to work on the interior, giving it a full retrim, including new front and rear seats...
next was the stace, and some coilovers were bought, not to mention, owning around 10 different sets of wheels, in the time I've owned the car...
the engine bay has been detailed with chrome, and cleaned ect...
then, i got bored with her, and sent her back for another full respray, this time, getting really into the body work...
every pannel was fetteld with, and smoothed, and sprayed, to get what you see today...
so on to the specs...

i look after this car better than myself, at times, and it has never once let me down, i drive over 600miles a weekend, and it never misses a beat, i even get around 40MPG on the motorway, so the econemy is good aswell...
