  13. Steels1 by quickrack, on Flickr This is the raw wheel after banding. You can see an original below on the left.

  19. Fitted new inner TCA bushes today. And a new strut top on the passenger side. Driving a lot nicer now. Also I got the loan of a flat spoke RS type steering wheel. I have been told they are nice to use. So I am trying it for a while instead of my Springalex view thru springalex by quickrack, on Flickr view thru flat spoke by quickrack, on Flick view of flat spoke by quickrack, on Flickr Hmmm. Not sure about that!
  20. The black leaves the door glass looking kind of one piece, but the body colour breaks that up and makes the seperate quarter glass very obvious. Which do you prefer??
