quite jelous mate, it's very nice :top: The silver wont look bland at all once it has some wheels on it. Even if the wheels you get are painted oem silver they will still freshen it up massively. Have you a set in mind? Are you converting it to manual?

Thanks Matt. I've seen a few that I like but won't be getting any for a few months as monies a bit tight at the moment. I'm going to get the rusty steels that are on it shotblasted at painted a high gloss gunmetal for now. I can get it done relatively cheap and it will look a million times better.

The main aim with this car will be to just tidy it up, give the bodywork a real good mop and wax and then tidy the interior up. I may eventually fit some recaros and get a new steering wheel. I'm also going to fit a decent stereo system in it and maybe tiny all the back windows. Not sure yet though.

Gonna stick with the auto box for now as its just a cruiser so no point converting to manual really.

Not a big fan of wooden wheels tbh. I like the deep dish omp's.

Picked up a set of recaros today. I'll get some pics up over the weekend! :top:
