Also it had these wheels on but on inspection one of them is cracked on the inside where it has already been welded so will be needing a new one but there isn't any info on what the wheel is so hoping someone will know.

Post by: dazjones757 on January 01, 2015, 01:40:45 pm: Cheers guys

I just Ordered some much needed interior led kit for it and also led puddle light kit but not sure on how i get them puddle light lens out untill i have a proper look but will keep you updated.

Need to get a new interior door handle also as looks like its been chewed by a dinosaur and while thats off might aswel get the replacement lights switches and wing mirror switches with the chrome tips.

Found couple of better pics from first day i had got the car home.
