Wow, quite the transformation! I was a bit worried in the beginning, but glad I kept scrolling!


Would I be wrong in thinking you probably have dropped as much money at the body shop as on the rest of the car??? British drivers must suck ... Or you just have terrible luck...

Slampanel? What's the American word for that? Brits and their fancy words for things... :lol

Nice work, and props to doing it yourself! You end up with a bit of the car in you and the car ends up with a bit of you in it!

[FunfGang]

Very nice! Love the progress you've made.

1. You just need to wrap your car in bubble wrap whenever you park.

2. Your harnesses are still VERY dangerously mounted. I say this not to be critical, or an asshole, but just looking out for your safety! Don't need anyone getting in a mild crash and breaking their back.

1. I know right, such bad luck..

2. I know ive had many many people telling me about it.. Just not had time to sort it (until recent)

SO... Its in... Still stuff left to do such as a few tiny wiring changes, tightening bits here and there but its in, it runs and its been driven.














Not an exciting engine change, but its a step up from the crap 1.4 8v

Done 95% of the work completely alone in my garage. Not bad for someone who didnt have a clue right?

Almost alive again <3

Sweet!

Painting the bay sounds like a bit of work that is semi-hidden...
