It's back on the road after 4 years and a total refurb. I have owned it for 6 years used it as my daily runabout for the first 2 years. Then put it off the road to do the back wheelarchs ended up fitting a m tech 2
This is just after the wheelarchs were fitted

This is it after I painted it all the work was done by myself in my garage

And this is it Finisded
