hey mez, welcome...

mate that looks sweeeeeet as, loooove the colour too, although not a colour i would have chosen in the can... but you obiuosly could see the result in your head... as the colour looks great...

are there airbags just in the front... if so why... is it becuase there is less choping up car to be done???

like minifc said... ANYMORE PIC'S

engine bay pic's, aibags up & down... etc.

what are you other plans for it...

Looking forward to seeing pics of the engine bay.
What wheels do you have planned to fit?

that's tops 8) good to see another person that if they want something they go and do it instead of talking about it and hopeing it will happen by itself 8) 8) 8)
i'm against everyone else i'm not overly keen on the colour looks like army green to me, and i probably would have made the front doors a little shorter to try to get the side glass a little more in proportion, but like i say all the time it's yor car, and if you've read some of my posts i say what i think so don't get offended i'm not trying to tell you what to do
chrome may make a bit of difference for me

welcome aboard Mez. Slaving for the past 18 months has delivered the goods. Fingers crossed that you make the Nats too. :)
