    Paint it up, some chrome rims, and a set of chopped springs so it drags across the road (only at the rear). Some young bloke will snap it up, remember they are the "cool" thing in the Valley lol.

    In seriousness, yeah clean it up, some nice rims and you should flog it off quite easy cause they all seem to think there really cool down your way.

    if its just sitting there doing nothing might as well turn it into some $$$$.

    the more attractive you make it the better your chancesa are at selling it for a higher price. but i would not go too overboard on rims. just look on ebay for some cheap nice looking rims.

    thats the plan its pretty early model im thinking possibly even the first can get it painted at mates rates so that shouldnt be a problem paint it ip dump it some cheap chromies make it look nice enough but am i guna get back what i spend?
