hey there dude,
im still off for the flat matt paint-although i love that red one so much. I might let you drive it. I trust you! Sort of....

hopefully it won't be too hard to get some mk1 lights for it-my friend has just got himself one and seems to be able to get anything he wants for it.

here is my peep mirror.....



here is my shiney AA badge for the front....



here is the interior trim and the state of the wing when i first got it.....




here is a freebie i found in the boot when i got it......





AND FINALLYY!!........

here is my other ride.............

sh*t your birds not shy is she dude, also she looks damn fine in those pics.

i did NOT give him permission to put those up.... can I sue???

compensation??!!! Wat a naughty boy, a spanking is in order me thinks

She is cute. A bit different from the shorts and Converse at Skegness!

The only pic I've got of my 'other ride' at the moment is of her in her KLM uniform. I think she'd kill me if I posted that up!
