Very smart Frosty! I still think Spectral Blue is the best colour!

My paint job is kinda poor, except for the freshly repaired front end!
Everything else is scratched up to hell lol
But i do like spectral blue, i don't think i would've liked lighter

It's an Opel / Vauxhall Ed! They corner horribly, i think if i raised the suspension i couldn't turn at all anymore without winning some kind of tumbling record!Big wheels are the was forwards. You could always raise the suspension as well...

Hmm, put the bowser in the back last night and filled it up with water, this mornings drive with the extra 200kg of moving water did make it feel a bit tumbly...

I'm scared of transporting fluids, had to tow a trailer with barrels of Diesel in them. any corner just made it feel like the trailer was about to tumble over lolHmm, put the bowser in the back last night and filled it up with water, this mornings drive with the extra 200kg of moving water did make it feel a bit tumbly...

That does look good, I think they look better on slightly bigger wheels.

Yeah the scratch on the door can be polished out lol.
Might have some trouble finding mirrors. The wreckages in my local scrapyard are all ph2 colores. Or ph1 manual. Mine are electric and heated.
Was a gorgeous deer tho!

To be fair a deer hit in a sweet spot will devastate a car as much as the pole, but yeah I'd take my chances and aim for a soft bit of the deer. Worst comes to it you got a bust windscreen and a deers bum for dinner

Well... if you do hit a deer dead on, those twig legs will just snap! But the full weight of that deer goes directly trough your windscreen lol
I'm glad it's just a pole tho, it made a few tiny dents on my fender, but nothing you see on first look.

I think i may have a failing pulley / alternator / tensioner.
Whenever the engine has to work, it makes a loud squealing sound. I initially thought it was the clutch bearing or something in the gearbox, but when i rev at 4000 i heard the same chirping with clutch disengaged.
Pondering if it's the alternator again, i've revised them twice already.
