Exhaust is on, power steering works, new number plates - so its deffinately driveable (on a very low ~6psi) Have a few odds and ends to sort out though - took it for a nice little drive up the coast this evening to see the sun set And DAMN the 25 sounds sweeet Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
