    Awesome.
    Just remember to be mindful where your wheel weights are.

    It's really hard to find a good yellow one here.
    I've had the opportunity to buy a black T5R and an olive T5R (as well as an olive R), but I just want a yellow one!

    A few more pics from steve and it's approaching completion, actually he is (should be taking the olive 855r to do similar with once gul is back) month or so, again very nice work, can't wait to get it back. Removing the wings is a much better way to underseal.

    I just leave steve alone to get on with it, he makes the decisions tbh and I trust him to make the right ones. But it's all the little accents that make the cars look good.

    I've thought about it but am always a little scared of bringing one in from the UK and particularly worried about rust.

    Don't know what the rules are if your an oz resident but for us to ship a UK car there were only allowed to do one personal vehicle every 5 years or something like that and then it had to be owned/insured /taxed for more than the previous year in your own name, but if you do consider it RoRo shipping is a lot cheaper than a container, not that I've looked into this or anything lol

    Bit of an update, steve has mopped the car, re texted all the trim and painted (didn't ask for that, just shows the mans commitment), finished the last bits of paint off.

    So she'll be coming home soon.

    Upon which he takes the olive 850r away for paint.
