    I hate brown cars normally, but on a MK1 it looks good.

    Good work

        Hope you make sure it nice and secure on your driveway, these cars go missing very easily.

          i got a shackle cemented into the drive and a big chain that goes round the axle, might make for a "porkies" style accoident, but better than it disapearing totally!! its a bit dodgy round here.

            What you need is a rottie that jumps through your front window every time someone comes into the drive like ours

                ive taken the front bumper off and fitted my nice new black an silver no. plates now too, looks even better. i have to say tho, it looks shinier in the photos than it actually is, but she's not rusty anywhere and thats the main thing!

                      Re: IT LIVES!!! AHHAAHAAAHAAAAAaaaa....

                      anyone guess how many more times ripper is going to find an excuse to put pictures of his car up?
                      white is my favoured colour at the moment, closely followed by banana yellow. i like white with the red and green castrol stripes, but not sure how it would look on a car without bubble arches and fat wheels???

                        Here's one I made earlier.

                        Actually it's RickB's V8 with a Photoshop'd Castrol paint job

                          that looks cool, i think it would be a bit much on a car without body mods tho, and im not gonna put bubble arches on it, (probably)
