You can't leave the current wheels on mate just don't suit the car. What about some polished cav gsi rims if you can't afford the others?

Day 2: Interior Time
well today i spent about an hour and a half stripping the interior!
got bored so thought i might aswell get on with it, its all working now which is the main thing!
Found some very intersteing bits below the carpet and found that i have a very very bad leak in the sunroof which made a rather large river, yes a river not one of these so called puddles!
ahh well roof lining is out, all seats out, carpets outs, front sound dendning out, center console out and found out that its allready had a pair of new floor pans which need a bit of tidying up. Found yet again a few more intersting holes! 
gona be sandblasting at weekend me hopes! 
enjoy:
