Probably not to everyone’s taste but I like it took me a few months only had drop links advised on the mot , also I re bushed every arm the gearbox that went in I had rebuilt the inside is stripped out I had it on the road for 6 months got fed up of the piston slap so that’s on the agenda

Good effort being brave enough to save it - looked a right state when you started and many wouldn't have bothered!

I like the grey too

Grey seems really popular on a lot of new cars, Ford, Audi, VW and Seat seem to be doing them on their performance ranges. Always good to see another classic saved as well.

Hi Elliott,

Nardo grey is a winner for me

And beauty is in the eye of the beholder.. everyone on this site has there opinions about what is nice and what isn’t - but you will never find anyone tell you what you have done is not right.

We are all a supportive group, with very different views on how to modify, but with a common passion for scoobs, modifying, and cars in general

I painted it in a freinds garage , just cleaned up a section of the garage put some boards up to stop the dust and cracked on I’ve painted in some shocking places and always come out with a top quality finish , I honestly don’t know how people in proper paint shops have trouble lol must be by painting skills 😝
