    The Plan
    As you can see below, the car has not seen much love lately. Its been crashed, scratched, manky and even has been 'touched up' by a drunk dude with a spray can.

    I intend to show the car some much deserved love, restoring it to its former glory. As surprised as you may be, the motor and box are running fine but need a few changes here or there.

    To Do List
    Clean interior & motor
    Replace Tail lights
    Remove Pod (Hot air) Filter
    Change Battery
    Repair Dash & Glove Box (inc repainting)
    Inspect & Repair brakes
    Replace Speedometer
    Replace tyres
    Replace doors and damaged gaurds

    So i finally got to work on the vr again, this time it entailed the art of body restoration, i have started repairing the damaged gaurd, sanding it back and bogging it. Also started painting the dash, finished painting the cluster surround. Also started sanding the boot lid and roof in an attempt to prep for painting, but got over it and went back to bogging the gaurd (wasnt set properly and i attempted to sand it)

    Will get some pictures up for you guys soon.
