i have a high res one if u wnt chris LOL

thats a vvery flattering photo of the car to be honest dude......... its a bit more beat up since i just got it HAHA

going bodyshop nxt week for a few little bits.... then sort the engine probs out as theres a possibility i may have low compression somewhere, then new box and diff and should be back to mint condition... oh and refurb the leather with that stuff u used too
