Haven't really updated much in a while.

so yea, I bought a bonnet for £10 like 18months ago. It was silver & sat in my garage until about 3 weeks ago..

..its actually still in my garage, but I decided to do something with it..

..probably abit marmite, but its only for fun! All hand drawn & painted, will probably get a few outtings...

Wheels will be next... no idea what to get tho! The polished lip thing bores me now! I was thinkin BBS RMs, 15x7.5 & 15x8.5, all in one colour? Maybe gunmetal grey... with gold bolts?
