hello every1, im on a bit of a downer 2nite, cos my car has hit a few unexpected hitches while its been in the bodyshop, so its costin me more than i had expected, a lot more,
and although the lads are doin there best to give me a crackin deal, am still not sure if its all gonna be worth it, yeah, sure, the car will be minted wen its dun, but it is worth bein out of pocket for ages just to hav a minted car that, ultimately will just attract neds and theivin gits that will end up ruining it, awwwwww fuuuuuuccckkkkkkkkkk

am gettin a psg wide arch smoothed in, bumper modded up to meet bonnet, bad boy bonnet, and grill extended down to meet bumper, smooth boot, rear bumper light removed and smoothed over, gsi spoiler fitted, door handles delocked and colour coded, washer jets removed, finger hole in fuel cap removed, and am gettin it lowered.
But, there is sum dents in the side of the car that turned out to be worse than expected, there is also dents in the doors which have resulted in pushing the tops of the doors out, there is an oil leak, and the rear wheel bearings have collapsed, and will obviously need replacing, and my MOT is due in 2 weeks

dunno if the doors hav been dun or not yet dude, no point if they hav, i dont think it would work out cheaper to get new doors, as for the wheel bearings, surely it wouldnt be that safe 2 use 2nd hand ones?

I really dont know whether to go for the job or not.
Need the cash, but could do with a job during the day so i'm left with the evenings to spend my way, and not be shattered at uni all day.

C'mon brian you know it's worth it mate 
You know it will be when your cruizin in the sunshine(irvine?) with the ICE cranked and the windows down
To be honest you are gettind a lot of work done so it aint gonns be cheap is it? My PURE guess is bout 3-4K?? Here's an idea,either spend a bit more to get it locked up every night of get a CCTV set-up outside the hoose.
Just an idea
