Looks sweeet!

Looks like the "rear" bit of the arch could do with pushing in a bit, but looks 10x's better mate :)

So, I failed my driving test yesterday, 7 minors , Obviously 1 major,

I came to a roundabout but i dozed off and didn't have lane discipline ( EMPTY Roundabout )

I was going straight on but i indicated right, I should have carried on going round and then indicated off but i switched lanes from inner to otter :( Ahh shit, Another month PEPI i sat there.

It shouldn't have been a MAJOR!

My grandad loves grinding

:unibrow:

Car looks good btw :)

  • Author

Right got a big update! :biggrin:

So i've had the car on the road for a week,

1 ) The arches are rubbing on my tires with 1 passenger in the rear

Solve that by either buying coilovers or taking spacers out, rolling arches (need opinions)

2) Radiator fan has gone, I've replaced it with a second hand one still not working

Might be the fuse not sure

3) She needs a service and also the alternator belt is screeching massively!

Getting done week on saturday , And also the belt not sure...

4) Rear drives side arch is still rusting, I need to get that sorted

Quoted 70, So ill be getting that done feb time..

Right! Pictures!
