Looking good. love the spot lights, will make the world of difference when driving at night.

My project will be very stripped out, but im still gonna have a head unit and a couple of speakers. Just love music too much.

cheers oli. luv drivin at nite, its the best time although got a feelin when i turn the spots on the car will just stop dead in the road.lol. been thinkin on the music front and may build up a small unit to fit on the rear seat because even though i luv the sound of a good exhaust after 2hours of motorway drivin it gets a little annoying.lol

ive kept mine as a road rally, havent stripped it out, ive kept two speakers on my rear parcel and mounted my CD player inder the back seat. ive forgotten about the pics lol! ill take them tomorow!

Edit: the colour scheme sounds good! thought you were gonna go mad on the outside!!

lol

origionally i had some mad ideas about paint schemes but then realised that it sorta looked like the strange love child of andy warhol and picasso so back to simple,plain street sleeper it went.lol. t

lol, thanks grimmy. i should really replace it with a proper one but part of me just wants to clean it and spray it and leave it be. Car needs a bit of history, lol.

You look to be hard at work on it and sounds like the perfect thing to spend your loan on

Looking good so far, read it all through this morning but in my usual fashion forgot to say anything
