Welcome back stranger :cheers2: That is bloody gorgeous and on those Comp's, it just looks the nuts! Have you had to do much work to it or was it really that straight to start with?

Bodywork wise it's as I bought it apart from where some knob drove up the ass of it.
Mechanically, it's been a nightmare but thankfully all is good now

You've changed the suspension though, right?

Suspension is still standard at the moment, mainly due to the width of the wheels not allowing a drop although I ve put a axle locating kit on it to stop it twisting.
I have the suspension kit ready to go on it but its 50/50 as to whether I lower it, sometimes I look at it and think it looks fine, other times I think it looks like a monster truck
