Lovely looking car. The three pics with the office block in the back ground are good. The rest don't quite reach those three for wow factor.

Thanks Rosc0PColtrane, did not have a lot of time around the office block so struggled to take a lot. Need to lower it and then take some more photos, will add more of the interior and audio tomorrow.

It would be good to do a meet up - I'd like to compare mine with yours (so to speak winkeye ) as it's very similar, 4 door dophin grey and body is good (not as good as yours) and a chromie - just to see the differences :D

I'm miles away tho :mad:

Yes the distance seems to be a real obstacle. Im sure if we actually arranged a small meet it could happen, meet somewhere in the middle say. Mine is not as mint as it looks in the photos, there are multiple small dents and scuffs everywhere, can see them in my orginal high res photos.

Would like to compare a chromie for sure though, see the differences.

Thanks Ah, just checked you pics, lovely bright red paintwork on yours. Glad to hear your keeping it mostly orginal. It is quite highly specced also have the big toolkit and a bootliner but have not had a chance to take all the photos aswell as the Nakamichi headunit and changer.

A great add to your car would be colour coded mirrors, I got some for mine and looked miles better after.
