Hi

Quite new on here so this is my car

Brought it a few months ago, it was one of them cars that was on the edge of going down hill really, it needed some tlc. It was so filthy inside and out ! I've lost count of how many times i have cleaned it.

It was overdue a service, cambelt was due, and needed 2 front tyres and just had loads of other niggles.
