    Bought this off Craig Sunday, wanted it since he got it! Very happy I got first refusals and when he text me last week I had to have it!

    The car is very clean mostly, no rust anywhere! lovely shell....Just needs the arch's sorting from craigs little 'drift ripple' lol

    was a 3 hour trip to dartford to pick up it! (MASSIVE thanks to Adam for the lift!)
    But on the way home went through the dartford tunnel, the exhaust sounded sweet so ben got his camera out to see what it sounded like, then in witham st hughes (basically down the road from lincoln) It absolutely pissed down, so decided to try out the 100tonne wheels in a little skid seen here:

    Skids well but it was soaking wet, so will give it another go in the dry when I get chance.

    Today when I got home decided to give the car a quick wash and hoover out, then went to take a couple pictures, here they are:

    Thats it for now, going to tweak a couple bits to my liking but on the whole I think the car will stay the same image wise!

    Wow nice man. I thought Craig was never getting rid of it lol?
    It still needs the under bonnet tiger stripes or whatever he was on about.
    Enjoy it, I look forward to seeing what happens :)

    It's mini pepper White mate but with more yellow in it to make it more creamy I painted it when it was mine.

    I'm glad it's in good hands with Jamie he won't ruin it
