Pretty much sorted now. Conna has sorted out all my welding needs, great work! Just need to get the accelerator pedal fixed on and the bonnet back on. A few engine issues, well air leak im guessing, a hiss. But for some normal wings for it, cause mine are oversized. So heres what I've done  [im    Matte Black Also, Bella is a new car. She is now called Bucket! Cause buckets dont have holes, and shes got around abit... 16 owners... need I say more |

The last couple have been hell on this, I cant afford to keep chucking money at it anymore and seeing no progress. Had 3 quotes and they range from £3000-£2000 for the work to be done. And the stuff that needs fixing is way past my knowledge So I'm selling it for whatever price it gets the next couple of weeks. Buying a 97 polo in a couple of weeks as well, so will make bug jam this year haha! Give it a couple of years and I'll have a bug again, or when I can afford to fix one up. |
