Well got some decisions to make this winter. Want to change some bodywork on the car but not sure how it'll look.

I thought about removing the door handles on the back doors but what do people think?



Also to keep myself warm this winter got a lovely little scrapheap challenge wood burner for the garage lol

Does look better now it welded up and painted silver. Nice and toasty.


Started a project today as well

I've fitted a door solenoid to the rear doors Incase I do remove the door handles so this gave me the opportunity to mess with the door cards a bit.

Just a first go but should look good when I neaten it up.

That explains it. I was a bit confused by that as LS400 rear brakes are awful lol, they are worse than stock IS200 ones!
