Drove down the lane with huge potholes where I work and deliberately hit the big ones.


No. just no.



Yes just yes.

If I didn't get stuck there I can go lower and still have no daily issues.

Just drop it all the way down and drive smarter ya big girl! :smiley:

Righty.

So seeing as this is completely UNinsurable until April when I'll be 18 (F* postcode and too many young "boy racers" smashing up their cars round here), I've decided that either I'll let my dad have it until I want it OR just continue doing bits and pieces and attempting to make it a proper minter.

On the cards is sorting out all the indicators and lights and tinting them to a reasonable standard, deciding whether I want a spoiler or not, respray the rocker cover as the paint I put on there, although fairly decent still gets attacked by thinners and petrol as it's aerosol.

I'll be 2 pack primering, spraying with probably an aerosol house of kolor then some 2K lacquer.

I plan to take the rear beam off and refurb that.

I'm assuming the suspension will need taking off and standardizing for the first year of insurance as will that horrible exhaust!

Where all my moneys went.

Thats sh!t about the insurance, but like you say it'll give you time to get it completely mint first  :cool:

TBH.

No lacquer on those but I will the rocker cover (just testing the paint).

I'll basecoat in white and try to do as even light coats as possible of pink so it's brighter.

Then 2K Lacquer.
