Not bad for a cheap one.

Reverse parking is not a real issue in these as the boot level and rear view is pretty good, but I suppose it means the neighbours cat will get some protection :)

I got one of those cameras aswell
Cant figure out how to wire it up :?
When you say stereo reverse signal wire is that on the stereo loom or on the cables for the camera?

Cable from stereo that say 'reverse'

The reverse light wire colour on my JDM is Green/Black

Traded some mechanical work for a machine polish by a work mate.

Came out quite nice, ideally the car needs a blow over as it has a fair amount of imperfections in the paint. But a light cut (paint as you know is super thin!) and a posh wax gave it a new lease of life. :)

Currently attempting to re Gold Chrome the badges....not sure how well it will go :)

And then need to black the door trims.

Cheers

I'd like some 17's, but got some spacers for the rear to try and fill the arch a bit better. And then lowered first.

Just put 2 new tyres on the rear and need some for the front so might have to flip tradition and get some bigger winter wheels lol

Donor Car has arrived for the manual conversion.

Manual BB8 '00 VTi H22a8

I bought it just for the gearbox, but I'm contemplating doing the engine as well being that it's an a8.

70k and not very well loved the last few years!
