Not sure if this is the right place to out it but thought I'd post up my new car.

At the moment it's a bit of a restoration project with a few improvements to be added. Got it from the Deep South on Saturday and I flew down on Friday night.
60 quid of fuel did the 430 odd miles on the way back, although the brakes are shocking, the tyres are ditch finders and it was so gutless. Although it was a nervy drive back it was still oddly fun, reminded me of the simpler days, and it definitely made me appreciate the silverstones brakes, power and handling!

Any way here it is (nothing flashy for sure but always liked them)

No major hurry with this as got 3 years with the twingo at least so I can take my time although I want it clean and all rust gone as soon as apart from that no hurry!
 
Since it was a nice day tidy, thought I'd do a little more on the car.

Started with removing the carpet to have a look underneath, for the mojority looks ok, although I was wanting to remove a little bit underneath the pedals but looks like you need to remove more stuff to get it out so left that in for now:

Also took off the stuck on badges and a good bit if the stickers and bump strip, although lots of the sticky bits left as I got fed up picking it all off!

Had a look at the areas behind the rear lights and doesn't look as bad as I thought it might be:

Removed the spare wheel and cage so I can see what's gong on:

And lastly finally cleared my garage so it can stay nice and dry away from the rain!:
