Lovely Gav, the car is a credit to you! Subtle mods and gleaming paint set it apart.

[QUOTE=V70 Graham;671336]Looks good mate, was the old one THAT bad ?[/QUOTE] Yes buddy, the handle was distorted, the window runner had been broken due to the buckle in the door, Metal was distorted around the lock. Now i have a new door, it came with a new check strap to, So now i have a pukka door and functioning check strap lol. Sounds daft but just opening and closing a pukka door makes the whole thing feel so much nicer.

So you like Gavs car, but slate it for having a scuffed velour interior, and the wrong wheels, I'd hate to see your opinion on a car you don't like. Black is the hardest colour to keep clean, but looks the best when it is clean. :D
