That's gorgeous, matey!  Good colour in my opinion, and the string bags on the front seat backs are in good order to - don't see that too often! |

Thanks Pedro. Yes, the string bags are still tight - its two former owners didn't have wife and kids so the rear is quite untouched - however I have two little ones in the rear now but I have laid down the law ... any dirt in the back and they lick it clean  The missus goes in the front ... and the rule applies to her also  |

Looks lovely. Have a dippy myself which i thought was one of the best around until i just read this thread. I must say the interiour colour is superb. I really like it.

I think yours is one of the best around, Matt! How clean under the bonnet is it? |

Thanks for all the comments chaps ... been mega busy recently ... part of it trying to fix my drivers door window... it goes up and down OK but doesnt sit straight at the top ... found out that the black runner which claps vertically to the front side of the glass (and then should clip into the long vertical silver runner guide metal bit) has come off completely ... so I need to glu the metal black slidey bit back back on to the glass ... any ideas on type of glue ... ? Anyway, yes the under bonnet os good (albeit a but dusty ...) will give it a dust this weekend, take a photo and pop it on here ... Bought a new ball joint track rod end thingy which I'll also hopefully fit this weeekend (as well as fixing my window!) ... In the mean time, I have also been progressing with my coffee table ... will publish in Show Off Thread COFFEE TABLE |
