The wood grain was only a successful experiment!

I've done a few more things to it since; once I get my Winter tyres on and it starts snowing I'll post up some more pictures.

Lol! Well those tires, they're probably worth more than my entire car...

Those Winter tyres, although I haven't ordered yet, are worth more than my beater is worth!! But, it's a good investment; they're going on a clean set of Coronas so as long as I have a Volvo they'll be staying with me.

Anyway, here's a coupe of new pictures with the ski rack installed and a grille blanket. Just waiting to order my tyres now.

Umm, I'm not sure what you guys will make of this.. but I'll whack it up for fun..

As I bought it.. Lowered on Bilstein shocks and springs, GLT interior, drunken paint job, 8x15 banded steels, flared arches, open loop mixer LPG..

Not changed massively but it's an ongoing project. Now with a 244 front end (grille is missing from this shot but I don't appear to have a complete pic..)

Ongoing plans involve brown paint and the Ferrari 308 wheels in my living room..
