I Only Wanted The Wheels.... by 72clubman

Spent the afternoon tidying up the interior, cleans up quite nicely! 

I also replaced the snapped window winder, don't know my own strength! 

Little play around with some editing. 

Can you tell I've run out of things to do on the car? 

I think it's as good as it's going to get without a complete rebuild and respray.

I agree with you on that. Painting is not my forte though, especially after the mess I've made of the rest of the car.

The pictures are more than flattering.

When I got the car the roof had already been rubbed back, so all I could do was primer it. 

That took a lot of paint as well! 

Sadly painting the entire roof is way beyond me especially since I've been spraying with a can! 

I love it though, it's rough enough to use all the time, and nice enough that I'm happy to drive it.

Sorry, the original colour was Astral blue metallic.

So, this is a post I never wanted to make....

Car was parked outside my house while I moved another car to get it on the drive. 

Hit by a dirt bike, not registered, no licence, no insurance.

Thankyou for all your kind words, as you can imagine I'm furious beyond words. 

The front end is pretty mangled and I think I'm going to have to go through the insurance. It's more than likely going to get written off.

If anyone wanted to see what happened I have it all on video, it's 10 minutes from incident to when the police turn up. It's pretty boring but shows him trying to escape multiple times though, there wasn't a hope in hell of me letting that happen.
