gimme 5 resto

I love this, genuinely looks like it's new.

More and more there are cars in this club to compare to the type of quality work often only seen in the Dub world.

Very true, My other baby.

Weather was good today so I thought I would run the car to let the fan kick in a few times.
And of course to take some pics!!!

just read through this whole thread. Wow. Very impressive work, and hats off for it looking so good, especially being a black car, worst paint to keep mint - but when it does its worth it like yours shows.

Best of luck with the sale, but please DO NOT BUDGE on that price:agree:

Amazing car mate, hope it goes to a good home :agree:

Beautiful car. Looks like its just rolled off the assembly line.

Amazing work fella.

Well, I bought new old stock, was listed as a standard 5 gt turbo exhaust by walker. Which it is but the tail pipe is slightly larger, the back box is the same as standard as is the rest of the exhaust, not sure why, would a mk1 Clio 16v back box fit a 5?

I was admiring the wheels.

Well the weathers starting to improve, think I might get the old girl MOT' ed in next month or so.

Looking forward to getting her out

Last pic, just any excuse to take a pic, sorry.
