Well its basically finished

Lot of faffing and hard work from beardy got it done

in his element

probably highest its ever been

So beardy gave it a good test drive came driving down the road looks mean as fook but scraped bumper its so stupid low a slight dip in road driving caught it so we need to raise it before driving

Just few little nigly things that need doing (some things i wanted doing rest cos beardy is a perfectionist which is great by me)

This was just after the test drive and it was nice to see it driving finally and it also sounds absolutley spot on its loud but power loud not silly sound on small engine its strange having all this power

(bonnet is not closed before anyone points it out)

Allthough not got car as putting bigger brakes on etc and doing little bits im very chuffed

Also was pissing it down and beardy was still layed under the car welding so cant fault his determination

Oh it looks nice

As long as you were told its gonna be fine. I just thought it would have very bad air flow but I see it has bonnet vents to let heat out

yea something about the vents moving the hot air out or something

Just need to get good set of cold air feeding to filter etc should make it bit better for it

wheels are nice but personally think they dont suit the car too much! a set of 18s or 19s would be better IMO!

but car looks good, will be good when people think its just a kitted up 1.2 or something and then you drop th eright foot!
