andyp Posted September 23, 2006 Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) now you managed to assess the damage mate, good that it hasnt done a lot more as first probably thought... least those parts are fairly easy to get hold off. a pain in the ass i know but you still have the car 3/4 intact.20vt will be nice, just wondering what people will ask you valve wise again when done!! lmao Edited September 23, 2006 by andyp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbeth! Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Cant believe this, saw the car without an interiot and would still have sold all my, and my familys, manhood to have a car as stunning!Hope all goes well in the rebuilding, as it deserves to, putting so0 much time into it in the first place.If i echo everyone on the forum, its because it deserve saying atleast 5 gazillion times.That car was the nuts! any im sure it will be again!
