After 22 years of service I decided to refresh my 325ic. Engine and transmission are still untouched and going strong. I use this car mostly to commute up the mountain to my office.

I had changed the top about 10 years ago, and re-did the leather interior about 6 years ago, but this time it was a complete paint job, re-dying the top and cleaning up the windows.

More pics and details are here:

These are classics of the future! Great to see someone spending time restoring more modern cars. I've just finished doing a load of work on a 1995 Fiesta that was going to be scrapped, I secured the car on Saturday, the scrapyard were due to take the car away on the Monday. Not really my cup of tea, and fingers crossed it should be sold soon, but I hate seeing usuable cars scrapped for want of a bit of work. Sadly rip-off garage quotes for fairly simple MOT repairs see off a lot of cars I reckon...

I have my eye on a Leyland Mini pickup, but it needs an engine, going to start looking around the internet to see where I can come up with a decent powertrain somewhere within one of the neighboring countries.
