havent been near the cali since august so took a run down this afternoon to give it some tlc, checked oil and coolant etc all grand, fired battery into her and she started first turn which was nice,

was kinda worried that the garage might be a bit damp but thankfully its holding out well, the brakes disks didnt even have surface rust on em

after lettin her run a while got stuck into some cleanin, just quick wash, wee lick of polish and 2 layers of wax and then got inside cleaned up treated the leather and fitted the new velour mats that ave been sitting for it, (big improvement on wat came in her i reckon)

also might have sourced an original head unit for it which would be sweet anyhows, took some pics when i was done but wi no tax or mot cudnt get anywhere good location wise so the drive hada do altho its that rural i prob cuda drove ti someplace wi no bother but not worth the risk and didnt really have time, its a 90 mile trip each way ffs

anyhows few more pics, still the same standard lookin car but sure

cheers man some nice ones there, shows the colour well in some of them, my camera seems to make it very pale at times rather than the deep green it is
