So much patience? Haha

Earlier today when we were Jacking it up for the millionth time I was saying to dad let's just scrap this piece of s**t!!

My patience had officially run out on this engine, it's only because it was taking up drive space we kept going

the plan orignally was to remove the strips, but in the end decided not too as it stops all the dents etc.. there's nothing worse that a big panel like the door and rear quarter with little parking dents in it!

the battery cover come from someone here if i remember correctly. not many about now.

stunning looking bay

just a suggestion but i'd do away with the a/c pipe stuff coming from the exhaust manifold and maybe relocate the screen-wash bottle to the top. wished my 16xe was as tidy as this

oh and a 1l throttle cable hides better btw
