the bonnet smashed the windscreen, the fucked brake bias spun the car, the 8ft wall stopped the car.
Front O/S chassis leg is twisted, so seemed a good idea to reshell

It was clean in the sense of rust 
I think you need to learn how to fit a bonnet

or to remeber that i said 'cant go too fast as the bonnet isnt fitted prop yet' D'oh
classic classic 'why did i do that' DOH moment. Nobody was hurt, no other parties involved etc so just me that has to deal with my own stupidity.
I didnt move in the seat though..... harnesses were brilliant. Andy got some nice burns to the neck, dont think he were as toight

Hi,yeah the car snapped the timing belt not long after i got the car from
Dave so got Roy to fully rebuilt it back up to a bill of £2500.Its done
20,000 miles since then and last december it snapped it again but that was
my own fault.I should have changed it long before.Just never thought it
would have went again.Have learned that to change it alot more frequently
and itll be fine.lol
It was just 4 valves that got it and the bill for that was bout £800.Apart
from the belts going the engines been trouble free.
Its done just about no mileage this year as not been insured on it all year
but if it doesnt sell soon am getting a new belt on it.its done about 2000
miles since the last oil change and will also be getting a change again at
same time as the belt.
Its just been over 1 year since the diff was serviced and the only problem
with the car is the passenger seat belt buckle could do with another one as
when i fitted the bucket seats,i pulled out the seat beat tentioner and
dropped it on the driveway causing the yellow plastic thing to pop out.The
seat belt still plugs in etc but could do with another one from the
scrappies.Theres no engine,gearbox etc problems
Apart from that the engines never had any trouble.Just maintenence things
like oil changes,brake pads more oil changes.lol
Just had a new clutch put in it last month and a new battery a few months
ago aswell.
The reserve price is £5500 but if was offered £5000 cash would accept.
Any other questions or that just e-mail me as try to get on the net every
2nd day or so or just phone me on 07709 454807
Thanks......Steve
