Background:
I have been on this forum for years, my first car was an 84 maroon ET that was unfortunately T-boned by a drink driver. I then picked this car up in a pretty poor, stock condition and have set about personalising it ever since, slowly doing it up. All work has been done by myself, family, friends, and Evan has given me a hand along the way. The car is not complete, and i will probably keep it forever, too much blood, sweat, tears, and $ have gone into it. I have been extremely slack by not making a members ride, but here it finally is!

Hi, your car looks great.

I think the best color tone is that one -> light blue with the white bottom.

Looks great.

And has the goods to do the odd track day........Have you done one?

Drag Evan down with you if you do Smile

Excellent work there!!

Darren.
