i bought this a couple of weeks ago, but only started using it yesterday, i'm really enjoying driving it, although its an auto! it needs a few bits doing to it, but these can be done over time.

it has crossed my mind to turbo it! will be keeping it for a while so maybe in time?
it is quite tidy, no rust that i've found yet.
not sure about the wheels? i have a set of 12" minilights that i might fit instead?

The wheels look like thay have spacers on the front and not on the back.

Does it have 8.4" disks with non-spacer rear drums?

I agree, wheels are a bit naff.

yeah it has discs , and i'm guessing the drums are the non spacered type.
need to take a look at the brakes as they are not 100%!

Excellent, another estate on the forum!

Personally I wouldn't go for the minlights, mine had them years ago and I wasn't keen on the look.

Poo Brown win though

i bought the set of 10" alloys that essexsteve had advertised, also fitted a set of cooper s discs and calipers so the wheels would fit.

still undecided what to do with the arches..thinking either painting them black, brown or possibly cream???

i've also found the cause of the useless brakes...it seems its only braking at the front, for some reason the rear brakes are not working..more things to look into!
