Answer:

This. Cant really see that well on piccy but this is the clutch pressure plate and it has completely sheared off from the flywheel bar 3 bolts. Its bent like fook! Dunno how it didnt separate the box from the engine!


Lesson 2 kids: Dont drop the clutch in 3rd to wheelspin

Nice, heres what Carisma Automotive (yep, sh1t head Shaw and his blazing crew Westwood) done......

Oh yeah, and built a whole new wing, and fitted it, then decided to kick her original wing accross the bodyshop becuase she said what the hell are you doing, we only asked for a quote!!!!!

The resulting clutch issues when we picked up the car. Bearing in mind how much Donna spent with them, his response, "aint my problem, prove it was us"..


No wonder his wife left him... Good for her... [Insert cat bitching smilie here]

Don't quite think we could match Jamies quality for stitching.... He's a penis, but he's still good with materials and stitching (stitching up, he has an excellent rep for...) ...

tbh, im sure there is better now, but im still yet to see a higher quality interior stitch finish to match them.

Also a bit hard with her paint, as it starts off green

Enough though, i don't want to plug the robbing bastid!!

Done the engine, suspension, brakes etc if that helps.... Donna removed her gearbox and clutch herself as well (F28 so not light), something many lads on here couldn't do!!

I forgot to add, he had a pony tail so if the ging thing didnt do it, being ging and having a pony tail should do!

Daimo you know its true

Jambo, even worse, did you see him on that pimp my ride thing?? Looks like someone had spunked on his head and he'd just run a combe through it sideways

I dislike him like i disliked the vibrator.

Dude, I can't comment on Donnas stictching, but if mine is anything to go by, i'd end up stitching the doorcars to the roof lining, and then to the rear seats
