Main issue is the lack of parts and prices to suit .Body panels are cheap secondhand but a lot of the wear and tear bits are GTA specific ..£110 for a track rod end ...£100 each for rear suspension bushes and there are 12 needed :crap:
They are a bargain though if you get a good one and there is always someone that knows what to look out for ;)
Bloody dyer, mate, pikeys everywhere.Quote:

* Fit the carbon fibre bonnet - 10 Mins
* Try and remove/replace the core plug in the inlet manifold - 15 Mins
* Stick the drivers side side skirt back on - 45 Mins
* Strip down both struts and rebuild with new poly donuts - 2 Hours
* Try and fix the speedo as it's not working - Never, they are a nightmare!
:wasntme::wasntme::wasntme:

- Going to sort out sidey due to some fecking annoying speed humps last night so it has come loose,
