I'm new to the forum and this is my new project car, exactly as i bought it. I have big plans for it, probably not to everybodys taste but thats life. Should be starting the work in the next couple of weeks and I'll keep the thread updated.
It's not a Westfield, it's a Sylva striker which are quicker and handle better 0 - 60 3.5 sec with two people in, top speed only 120 as it's got the aerodynamics of an office block but most people have given up the chase by then.

On the way home I was thinking about what I wanted to change, to give it more of a personal touch/look.
My plans go something like this:
Maintain it to the best of my...
