Put your car's development story here!

[daverichmond1]

Hi there all,

Would be great to see a post which contains the development of members car's. Really like these threads as you can see the car's development from the start.

I'll start with mine (an absolutely lame effort due to me saving up a 172/182!):


Car in standard trim on a trip through the Yorkshire Dales::
