None, really.

I've been whitling away at all the jobs over the past couple of years. I plan to fit a Long Life stainless steel exhaust in the next few weeks and I may replace the front indicators/fogs as they are quite badly stonechipped and let the front down a little. Mechanically it's all ship shape and the interior is fine. I have no intention to carry out any mods.

Misssion pretty much accomplished smile

Wow that looks fantastic! Hmm, mines the same colour, really needs a respray, and I happen to live a few miles away from Marsh Mills Ind. estate...

The problem is if my car had paint that good I would be genuinely worried to use it as a daily driver. Everyday I get more stonechips from driving to work in Paignton, and even if I park in a totally remote and deserted spot in the supermarket some plank always decides they want to park next to me.

Thanks,k9huff.

I think I may have seen your car on the A38 and going through Totnes a couple of times smile

If I was using mine as a daily driver, I wouldn't have had the work done as it wasn't in bad shape before. It only comes out in nice weather and I don't do many miles in it so for me it was worth it. Having said that, I'm still paranoid every time I take it out but I guess that will wear off as the stone chips mount up cry
