I was using a Sony nex-5n with a 18-55mm lens. I do love the car and would be properly sad to see it go. But needing to get on the property ladder  :sad1:

So with winter upon us, I decided again this year to get a winter car. Since my edition 30 had never been on the road with salt or snow since it was new.

This years winter hack a wee Jimny to get me through the winter in Scotland. Picked it up at the start of November and the golf has been off the road tucked up since. Its a T reg 1.3 16valve with 93 k on the clock, years tax and MOT  :laugh:  Perfect

So here she is

Getting a wee wash


Painted the old tatty rusty wiper arms


After the wash



And found this while having a wee play off road


Next up is to paint the wheels black and have some fun it it  :P

Also got this for the fleet
Fully stripped with a welded diff E36 328i

Small update. Change the screen wash and coolant cap from blue to black thanks to Alex at AKS

Excuse the dirty bay pics, I'm needing to give it a good going over for getting it back out after winter. Plenty of time for that

Before


After




And the car all tucked up for winter away from potholes,snow and grit!!  :fighting:




And out playing at the top of a nearby hill this morning, passing all the stuck cars on the way up as the access road is pretty steep   :laugh:


Parts I'm hoping to fit while off the road are WALK kit, BCS full system, new tyres and get the wheel colour changed also maybe a twintercooler  :happy2:
