had this car for a few mounths now but never got round to putting a project thread up so hear it goes.
havent done that much with the car as it was in good condition to start with, most of the front panels replaced and resprayed and new door skins not so long back. this had 31600 miles geunuine from new with quite a lot of bills, services and mots to go with it. tiney bits of rust are startin on the a panels and the roof is a bit ruff but that is all.
so here she is when she was getting some of her panels replaced
