**Updated 1st December 2010**

I didn't realise I hadn't updated things here! Bit behind the times! Not many pictures I'm afraid. Done a bit to the body recently. Cut out loads of crap, rusty metal, and finished off all new bits of floor for the driver's front footwell. They've now been tacked in place as well. Cut out plenty of grot from the rear footwell too, but then it started to rain, so that's stopped it for now, and I've just been busy with uni work lately. Sadly, the snow has now ruined everything! When the weather improves a little I'll try and finish cleaning it up so the last floor sections can be done and the inner sill stuff can be finished off. Didn't take any pictures, but there's progress at least. Rear is worse than I thought annoyingly, so plenty to cut out, and a few fiddly bits to replace.

Outside that, I have bought a few more bits in the last month or so, but they can be updated when I finally start fitting them. My wheels have finally arrived though. I actually bought these from bil n kel ages ago, but as they were in Norfolk, a friend of mine picked them up for me and put them in his garage til I got a chance to go back for them, but he and another friend came up here a couple of weeks ago, so he brought them up for me. Just a snap of one for now:



Old skool Compomotive MOs, yummy  Grin in 17x8 *gulp* so might have to modify the arches slightly  Head v Brick Wall tyres are 205/40 which gives a bit of a stretch, so may swap to 215s eventually. Going to be going silver as well, as I'm not really feeling the white, but that won't be happening this side of Christmas anyway. Managed to get a set of five which is nice, so one is going in the boot as a spare, as it has some damage to it, but will do ok in case of emergency. They should look the part anyway, and cover the 325mm front brakes with ease.

That's all for now...

You want 225/45 tyres mate...Toyo T1Rs from Camskill were a bargain for me thumbsup  They were cheaper than the 205s I needed for the front!

I don't think I'd get away with 225 tyres, think 215 is the widest I'd fit really, and they'll no doubt require arch work!
