here we go then, saw this car on the net and agreed a price, dont worry it was cheap!! but i didnt expect the car to be in this badder way, its a mess, was thinking of just selling on but it has potential!!!! i hope!

here are pics:-
























started work on it tonight and look one rear light out to find they had done nothing to modify it to fit, so have but into there to get the light fitting in a little more to get beta fit with the boot!! also trimmed the boot so it would fit over lights after modifing them, fit beta than before after few hours work tonight!!



on to the exhaust, was not sure wot to do with the 6 inch over hang on exhaust so i thought cut it off, first started with hacksaw and that was slow so got the angle grinder out and took it off then grinded it into shape and filled it smooth and then polished it up with wet and dry!!

looks soo much beta than it did!









still a long way to go!!!!!!!!!!! need some wheels for it now, or some cheap 17inch tires to go on set of 17inch wheels i have

You're going to need to completely remove everything on that and take an angle grinder to all that crap smoothing Rather you than me

Good luck!

P.S. Who did the work on that car? Looks awful, sure you will sort it though!

I still havnt got round to starting my car - too many other things come in first u must know how it is

we're currently working on a big project with a BBC cameraman; taking up all our time and resources, but should pay well hopefully
