Not my style, but looks really clean and tidy with you, credit for being a bit different to the norm. Any pics of the interior? I expect that looks a bit unusual too.

I like what you have done with the washer bottle. Might have to copy.

What wheels n sizes are they in the first pic ??

[hardchargin40]

Are they cambered rear wheels or they been changed since?

[jimmyb1982]

Yeah, the camber is gone now. Never had it on the road with the camber and I'm glad of that too!

The wheels in the first picture are my mates OG Oldskools 15x8 ET25 all round
