240 General: - Show me your brick! - Page 17

wooble · Sep 27th, 2011, 19:12

I've had this one for about 18 months, after I wrote off the last one. 2.0 manual, but I have a 2.3 turbo in the shed that's being built up, or was about a year ago, has been stalled for a while due to lack of funds. The wheels popped up at the right time and the right price so I grabbed them, they're exactly what I've been looking for.

Good eye on the colour, 412 verdigris

I didn't like it when I got the car but it's really grown on me. I've got a location in mind for a night photoshoot in the near future, too.

WoobZ that looks amazing. Love the wheels!

I love this thread, so much so I thought I would give it a shameless bump. I will be putting my brick in here tomorrow after I have spent the day bringing the dull bodywork back to life. The difference it makes these cars looking shiny compared to dull is a world away.

Love the wheels on Woobles car! So jealous! We need more aftermarket wheels like the Yanks have!

Heres my old 245GL back in 2009:

And my current 245GLT when I bought it in July 2011:

Heres my old nail. Now machine polished and sporting early stainless hubcaps and thanks to mr 244T lovely shiny trim rings on the wheels!

I do love this car!
