this rocks clean as a whistle plain white is a brave colour for a rod but by feck this "works" for me. I think I'd lose the side markers/repeaters though And am I the only one wondering if there is an inch and a half that could come out of the rear ride height? But seriously. This is just awesomely nice.

for me, bigger rim n tyre on the back, slight rake
as you say, loose the sid repeaters and add a subtle pinstripe/coach line down the side just to break it up a teeny bit and it'd do it for me

Bleugh! Flexible brake hoses straight off the master cylinder! Plumb some decent steel hard lines in there and I'll take it as is! ;D

want to expand on that? do you have some knowledge about this car? IMO it looks just about right, but white is not my fave colour

It looks the sort of car that isn't driven, just dragged from show to show on a trailer. That's why the engine bay is immaculate, no evidence of heat on the manifolds.

Unless it's to make it look like it's roadworthy. The potential to use it is there, but just chooses not to.

A guy I met at a mini show yeas back was accused of his car being a trailer queen because it was so stupidly clean. I stood and listened to them have a pop at him for 5 minutes until I informed them that having gotten lost on the way to the show, I had followed him for the last 50 miles. His car then went on to win the concours competition. Some people may have absolutely immaculate cars, but it doesn't mean they don't get used, it just means they have to spend lots of time keeping it that clean/get a life

No sign of a trailer with it, but then I didn't see it drive in or out. The PicNic isn't really an event for trailer queens.

I can't help wondering if those goddawful side markers are as a result of it being through SVA or something.

I can't imagine how they'd be SVA Modern cars don't need anything that hideous. I think it's just a taste relapse by the owner, just like blue neons on a corsa
