Needed something sensible (Non modified) and practical. So ended up with this, on coilovers so not very sensible for transporting our rig about, which is why I wanted an estate

Once I sort the god awful colour of the wheels and grille it should look alright. No plans other than get some decent sounds in it then just pimp about in it. Sorry about shitty phone pics.







Love being a dubber again though

It might do if we get carried away during a demo, haha.

I painted the wheels and grille and it looks so much better. Spent a few hours today putting some speakers in the doors and wiring in a new ISO connector so I can put a headunit in. The wiring is a right mess, theres a load of stuff for an alarm behind the dash and neither the permanent or the switched live to the stereo are getting power




While down the workshop doing the wheels I test fitted one of my wellers. Needs spacers to clear the brakes on the front, but

Finally got round to buying wobble bolts and fitting the wellers on this.



The fronts stick out way too far to be legal and its so low I could barely get it out of the workshop to take that photo. I was going to wind the coilovers down a bit to get rid of the arch gap, but if I did that it wouldn't be able to move because the sump and subframe would actually be touching the floor!
Shame coz I really like it.

Fatter rubber, job done. Glad you sorted out the failed rat-look attempt out from when you picked it up, although how the previous owner managed to bodge a rat look job I'll never know!
