Some have said I should get her repainted as she has some pitting on the bonnet, courtesy of the mice that must have lived in the rafters of the garage she sat in for 31 years, and a few blemishes from dents , but I like it. I am going to get some old nerf bars and take her bumpers off occasionally to make her look different for summer fun, but that's about it.
Brother In Law loves to get stock cars and then start modifying them, I just don't see the need.
Also we get a car and keep it for years, he swaps out cars evry two years or so, always has 5hit cars and complains that he can't afford a 'classic' like us, derr, if he stopped buying stock and spending 5hit loads modifying them, only to sell them cheaply for something else and start again, he could get a classic and spend some money making it worth more and keep it.
