Default Got my Baby back - 'X' Plate Classic

Sold it on and moved onto a Hawkeye STi for 18 months. But decided to return to a Classic due to them becoming rare and not really jelling with the Hawk as I had hoped.

Hawkeye sold on and after hunting around for a Type R or a P1 I decided to seek out my old Classic. Thankfully Nick kindly agreed to sell it back to me.
Dead chuffed to get it back and it has really made me appreciate how good it was and how good a classic is to drive.

She is lovely!!! It's similar to what i have right now. I've been toying with the idea of selling up for a hawk sti.

I think now you may have made my mind up for me.

That look like a very clean well looked after classic. I have always preferred my classic over others I have had or drove.

Just got my wheels back from re-furb at Lepson's in Kent, as the guy I sold it to0 (Not Nick who I purchased it back from), managed to get all four looking in a sorry state.
Very pleased with results.....

Before.....


After......





Just need a bit of warmer weather to get under the arches for another coat of silver......

Cheers for your comments guy's, it's appreciated........
I'm keeping an eye on Mr Silver Scooby Sports RA project thread and may rob a few idea's.
Although taking the body off to clean the underside is maybe a step too far for me......

Another little update :

A bit of a refresh under the arches, and change from Eibach Sport Spings to Tein S-Tech.







The futures bright...The futures 'ORANGE'.....
Quite a substantial girth increase...well only 2mm extra, but it makes all the difference
