Hi Alan

yes the car will require a full paint job as the original is cr@p - also the bonnet is not original even though they look similar colours in the photos (and will need a larger 'power' bulge too)

probably not the final set of wheels - I have 2 sets of original slots, a new set of Minlites and a new set of 6 17" alloys. The ones on the car have decent tyres smile

The slots that came with the car had remoulds on - WTF on a sports car!! he spent £3k on paint!! had rusty chassis and a real mess in the wiring (I would have classed as near dangerous with exposed live wires)
