What's the long term plan for it?Cheers mate. yeh i darnt look under the sill trim right now long term plans ? not so sure right now mainly tidy up body work (new wing,rusted arches welded etc etc) i bid on a set of evo 4 recaros and got out bid by £2 so something along them lines for the interior. The rest just take it as it comes, and looking at builds on here to give me a few ideaswas thinking about getting those wheels myself!!! you beat me to it! You should do mate they fill the arches really nice. Think im gonna refurb them in anthrecite once all mechanical issues are sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
