Well people may know this car as no one was intrested in buying her i started working on her shes still tatty here and there but looking more presentable 1st was to remove the nasty wood dash BEFORE  AFTER  then to give it a buff up after like 30 years of fading and adding side chrome (from a 2003 rover 75) BEFORE    AFTER    |

Nice, very nice indeed...
Are those Alfa seats up front...?! If so, I bet they're ruddy comfortable.
With regards to the paintwork I reckon the red over cream scheme would work very well indeed...
Keep us posted, this is one very interesting vehicle!

thanks peeps yea there alfa 147 seats there comphy and coming from a 2 door they tilt for easy access if need to put things in car. the wood dash is because its a series 3 but strangly its only clipped on and the earlier dash is underneath suppose it was a cheap mod for the upgrade but iv never been a fan of wood, yes there a few holes from were the chrome strip was riveted on but i have some black rivets to go in the holes so they wont look out of place. as for the wheels i think ill get them banded but i have looked at a set of mondeo ones and have an idea  obviously my photo shop skills are abit how can we say 5h1te lol |

Looks loads better on the steels, I know what you mean about the wood trim, been tempted to do the same myself. As for the look I've always liked this.  Not to everyone's taste I know. |
