Glad to hear you are pleased with it :D
Look forward to the shiny shiny pics! (remember nice girls don't need to show pink on their pics, but good girls want to...)
Guess this means the *ROVER* will go in the autotrader tomorrow ;)
(If anyone wants a very tidy reliable runaround, Nic has a rover 214 for sale)
-
pink inside is always nice :grin:
the list of parts looks very expensive but i bet it runs like a new un now
-
good job!! with the brakes, suspension and engine mounts i bet it feels like a different car!!

PINK!!? lol if thats what youre feeling and thats what youre loving you go girl!! atleast you'll be able to stop and go round corners now babe!
oh and what about you taking me for a spin?? :wink: :grin: :laugh:
-
I think the number plate will make a serious difference to the look of the front end - i'm sure some people here have links to online places that supply number plates (i'd stick with something simple, too flashy gets you pulled...)
I think the most important difference with the car is that the heater works. Someone *forgot* to tell me that it had no heater, i did find out though when i drove it two hours to the workshop....
-
i did genuinely forget!!!! :embarassed:
sorry hun' but a nice cuppa when we got there sorted you out didn't it!! cup o tea cures everything! :rolleyes:
tbh i didn't really notice the number plate till i took those pics! and comments defo taken on board! :grin:
