Good on ya for having a go mate if it takes you three weeks just to get it in you can still say youve done it yourself, it makes a nice change to see people doing things themselves theres too many people about saying look at the car ive just finnished when in fact its just been picked up from a garage/bodyshop

Most scary part in my oppinion is not damageing any of the brake lines and makiing sure there all connected up properly if disconected

agree with the above " BUILT NOT BOUGHT" makes it all the better when people ask about the car and all you can say is erm "DONT KNOW " or "SEE HIM OVER THERE ASK HIM HE DONE IT" well done mate, all i know is self tought and it gets better .

well i love taking things to bits and putting them back together but this is a big leaning curve for me and loveing it my hands r cut to bits and its costing alot but i really love it

so cant wait to come to the shows next year. never had a modded car befor but its because i never wanted a muppit motor with bits done like a std car with spinner wheel trims and head light covers and sunstrip so just never did any thing

i thing i got the bug

no hakeems got one and a few more bits for me fingers crossed i should get them tomorrow as he's coming north to gett some bits for his car so he's closer to meet than london
