    Little update
    Got hold of some rota grids to put on while I get my longchamps refurbed over winter

    Although I'm a strong hater of replica wheels I must say I think it looks pretty cool , 16" kinda works too

    Take that's just a stock picture? :p That's an AE92 engine and a Canadian plate haha.
    I'm not sure I like the All White SSR Longchamps, will have mine re-polished when mine is off the road I think :)

    Not into those longchamps at all, shame. But you're making all the right moves getting the bodywork done dude. Sure it'll be a minter soon enough.
