we cant all have nice lookng cars like you mate ;)
im gonna throw this strut brace on for now and then take it off in a couple of months to to it properly i think!

right, bit of an update....
i have decided that spending my little money on a vento front end is pointless atm...
plus there seem to be a lot of people doing it which doesnt attract me at all!
so im going back to doing what i do best... and thats getting the bloody thing running and looking as good as possible without spending silly money!!
dont get me wrong if i get a vento front end for say £50 i cant say no... but i think my sh!t will turn purple and smell like rainbow sherbert first, so sod it:D
im gonna get my bonnet sorted and my wing sprayed to the colour of the car and then start replacing the things i broke in the crash instead of getting ahead of myself changing major bits!
obviously after this bloody mot!!

the car is burning oil loads now so maybe looking at ripping this engine apart and uprating bits as i go but one step at a time!

few pics of the car as it stands now -








i know they are sh!te pics but best i can do atm!

got some 195's to put on the back to stop the scrubbing completely hopefully,
and the car is going to the garage on the 8th for brake pipes to be checked and replaced if need be and weld my drivers seat up.
and im gonna do an oil change before then too!
cheers all!
