so as you can see its in a pretty bad state at the minute lol but when im done it should look pretty good.
the reason im restoring it is it was passed down through the family from new and when im older ill give it to my kids and hopefully they'll do the same :)


[BREAK=stickers]
little update:

made new stickers on paint :) not too bad could do with some tweeking but they'll look smart when there done :D
