    i love the stance!

    and your back box looks quality, is it complete stainless throughout???

    looking at yours makes me wish i kept the mk1 shed i had and restore it [:^(]
    ..now its probably been crushed or just sitting in a scrapyard

    hopefully,a question of money,petrol money.
    she likes a drink as im sure you know vell ;)

    youll b dissapointed seeing it in the flesh,i think it looks better in pics,you cant even tell that the front wheels are scuffed to fek and oxidised [:^(]bought em like that to get re-furbed but not got rnd to it.[:s] will be its last outing before i break it.

    will take u 4 a blast in it,not too bothered about power figures really but just good to get to a meet 4 once. :)

    I would go for it, say your selling it at the end of the feature and you could get a great price and not have to break it!!!!

    dont know [:[] i honestly dont think its mag worthy?

    its got scuffed front wheels(bought like that) lips on front arches are a bit bubbly,scratches in engine bay,,,,its still got totally standard brakes no fancy 4 pots or even uprated disks! just nothing special about it.
    just seems like an old car with a set of wheels on now [:s]
    i do love it,but thats just cos ive had it a while and its taught me a lot about dubs.

    Much more to it than that. Don't break it - such a waste! Sell it to a good home if nothing else...

    You would be surprised how well it would look in a car mag as those photographers can really make the car shine, mine had some scuffs & scratches on it when i had my feature & you dont notice them in the pics especially the size that they are printed at.

    I say go for it mate.

    Obviously owners of their cars can spot even a slight knock or minor scratch, even my car has lots of little knocks and a few sctratches but they can easily be sorted. If your car looks immaculate in the pics put up on here, i'm sure they will look just as good in a mag mate. :thumbup:

    U sound like a perfectionist no doubt, and still u gotta remember it is a 20 year old motor and gets used how it should (like in ur vid, lol), but feckinell does it look the testicles! Do the feature man. ;)
