I'll send my car down to you, and you can sort it's bodywork out.
I'll pay you in Scampi Nik Naks.

No major work as its too fudging cold atm!! Decided to brighten up the interior a tad - as the rest of the inside is going to be black. I suspect this will divide opinion....... mind you wait till I get my wheels sorted, that will definitely divide opinions

Exactly
What are your plans with it performance wise? Is it going to be a complete beast or something a bit more 'subtle'?

Not going for performance on this one (My STi satisfies that need) more form over function if you like! A comfortable 250-280 bhp will suffice

Oh yeh I forgot about your other one
Its just that I saw your thread about a 6 speed for your bug, but wouldn't the 5 speed work better for cruising, etc?
