Was all going fine till a stuffed it the other night!!, spun it while on a mini run.
Smashed front end up, but its not that bad, got it straightened out ready to paint again.
That'll teach me for driving it like a div!!!

I have been silently following this project since you first started and I have to say, I really wasn't sure.

But now it is nearing completion I have one thing to say................EPIC!!

It really has worked out well.

shame about the shunt. still looks like only a minor repair?

A shame you crashed it but at least its a relatively easy fix. The exhaust looks pretty awesome!

Made some new arches, but in the end i didn't like them so i had to alter them. I painted them black along with the roof.

Also ive fitted my coilover converted standard struts on too, they'll do till i get some proper coilovers on, it'll go lower then too.
