Thanks mateOriginally Posted by Trevhib
Very, very nice. You've really made a huge improvement to this car in the time you've had it.
Maybe I asked this before but are there any decals on the way?yeah I have some decals but I found a little paint bubbling at the front drivers door I waxoyl the inside of the doors when I had the cards off and all is fine in there so going to get that sorted before I put the decals I have on
Thanks Nad and safehands

It's like Russian roulette
Lol yep I had a Clio Williams that was 8 years younger then this and that had quite a lot of rust, this has been looked after well solid little motor
And should last another couple of decades at least with your help mate.
I hope so mate this car is a keeper for me
same as that mate cant see me ever getting rid of mine.
You should cherish this one mate!
Looks great on them wheels in that colour.I put a France flag on my towing eye cover in 2008 and wonder if I started a trend? :-)
Will do mate can't wait to get my decals on just to finish it off
Cheers mate yeah it was you that I copied, loved it as soon as I saw it on your car
Managed to get a bit of time to put the seats back in the car and clean them to
Sorted my sills all sealed and protected ready for side skirts to go on
Just my side decals to put on now then the rest of the kit can go back on
That is immaculate, excellent work.
This is just awesome mate! Bringing it to National day?

Had a go putting the first bit on, the door is going to be the worse part to do has to be trimmed to
Will be doing the rest later got to pop out for awhile was not that bad with the soapy water method
