one of the wheels is abit scabby, the paint has bubbled on it so will look into a refurd sometime in the future.
the tyres are a mix and match of different makes, also 2 are 205/45/16 and the other 2 are 195/45/16.
i put the 2 205's on the rear but both of them are directional tyres for the same side so one is pointing the wrong way.

bit of an update..
road tax ran out at the start of the month so i got 6 months worth.
came out to the car monday morning (after a week of not using the car) and found the exhaust falling off
after jacking up the car and having a look it seems that one of the rubber mounts had broke and the back box had rusted.
and off the back box....
ive ordered a new one off ebay, afew pence under £50 for the backbox, clamp and 2 rubber mounts, just waiting for it to turn up.
also got some clear headlights but havent fitted them, will update when ive got them on the car.

the backbox turned up today
fitted it but it seems to sit abit to the side
also that the tail pipe sticks out abit more than the old one
and one more pic
i think it could be down to the middle rubber mount being very warn or that its just a pattened part.
still looks fine tho

bit of an update,
over the wet xmas time the old girl has been great, not one problem much to my suprise.
anyway MOT time is slowly creeping up so i booked her into a local garrage just to give her the once over.
they said she will need the following for the MOT -
tyres x4 (fronts are abit thin on the ground of tread and there is tyre wall damage to the rears)
off side shock is leaking (time of an upgrade then)
off side wishbone bush worn (best do both sides then)
off side brake hose perished (think i'll get a pair of braided ones then)
got till the middle of feb to get it sorted so loads of time

my guess is that some point in its life it had been in a crash and the airbags had gone off so the interior was replaced with anything cheap.
nothing came up on the HPI but the passinger wing is messy with overspray and poor pannel gaps
