This is bad news. All my fav projects are ending badly.  :cry:

This is not how I thought it would end but to be honest I just dont have the time and I cant justify keep spending money on it, if I can get a decent amount from breaking it, sell my fiesta and end up with something that has good bodywork with a few luxuries il be happy, the grief of breaking it is daunting but I just need to get it done and move on, love hate relationship with it since day one and I think once its gone and i have something else i will miss it but a weight will be lifted. Dont want a "project" car anymore, just want one that is smart, is quick enough (250 brake-ish) and that I dont HAVE to do much to just a few little touches.

Sounds like im pretty funked regarding the garage, im going to have a word with them and see what they say

Gutted mate!! It would be hard to get the garage to pay out because of the timescale and as said when you buy tyres they say its the drivers responsibility to check the tightness of wheel bolts after 30 miles but who does?! I would go see the owner with the mk2 and tell him what happened. Try get him to pay for the damage, don't scrap they car! I have a black bumper if you want FOC

Doubt you get far tbh, as Chuff said someone could have tried to nick you wheels.

Surely it's down to the driver to keep a check on the wheel nut torque as you would with air in the tyre. I mean its a rubbish thing to happen and I would also try to get some compo from them but I highly doubt it  :undecided:

Wasn't me who was there!  :laugh:

Gutted for you mate!! Looks horrible!  Things could have been a lot worse if you was going 50+  :sick:

Like what the others said about the receipt! And 2 weeks ago inputs quite hard! Well worth a try!  Such a shame!

I know what you mean about something that you won't tinker with!  :whistle:
