Nice, almost retro. Is there a 14" black and white TV attatched to the other end.

Bit of work done (well quite a lot!)

I had a go at cleaning the engine bay, was green overspray on everything. The air filter fell off when I went to clean it! Jubilee clip and all sorted. The boot handle also fell off, the door cards fell off. What a wonderful car. Got some new tailpipes so that looks better, the door cards need to be retrimmed and put back on using the proper clips, and not double sided tape as was there, the wheels are coming along nicely, 1970's Cyclones, I found a proper set of centre caps on ebay for them too, bit of a bonus. And the pick up back is 95% finished.

Can't wait till it's gone and I can paint my Vitara!
