Very similar to mine,and both in Stoke-on-Trent,lol.

Where did you get the work done mate? Looks like a good job.

Rear needs lowering more, it makes the Cesaro's look way better

Did it start life as a early mk1, with early style bumper/grill?

Should of kept the early front-end! Getting very rare now...

Work looks very good indeed, what sort of rates does your mate charge?
