Pete91 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 (edited) Here's my new car! Picked it up last week and had a hefty drive home:Had an absolute biatch of drive cos just after i bought it I put the window down and it decided not to go up. An hour and crap load of duck tape, masking tape, and clingfilm later...Luckily the guy I picked it up from gave me a spare window motor and I fitted it when I got home:Car is absolutely immaculate inside and out Cheeky wee engine shot: Edited January 15, 2014 by Pete91 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
