    Im getting wheels blasted tomorrow and gonna be painting them white, The chassis is solid, wheels are good, rear mud gaurd is solid, foot plates are good, the only things that are quite bad are what id call the dash tower (1st picture) and the bonnet so i am on the look out for these items but im going to continue with everything else in the mean time.

    tyres are a tad gentle to be honest that why i have not attempted to take off rims. i wanted to realy. they all hold air realy well but are very perished around the bead but all is ok for now.
