Well done mate its really starting to take shape
I find it really good to see what you are doing as i think your currently following the path i would have gone down if i had stayed at home.
I myself was persuaded to buy a house with my girlfriend and have to make do with being skint and driving a standard STI, although once my house is finished all will change.
..........unless i am persuaded into getting married

Looks great well done there... not sure what your up to paint wise under the bonnet but I would be tempted since it is stripped to make the most of things and do a finished coat under the bonnet area and in and around the exposed boot and underside of the lid.

Good on you mate. The car is coming on well.
Not many guys of your age would attempt this.
What do you do for a living?
Top man
