Ok guys thought i would start a build thread as i never done it with my last project and always wish i did, plus i was just going to keep it the way i bought it but due to one thing or another........ Ive changed my mind

18/09/2012
Well this is a couple of pictures when i bought it,



20/10/2012
Then as mentioned in one of my other threads only a month after buying it some tosser from along the road left his handbrake off and his car rolled into it causing damage to the wing and door
Unfortunately i didn't get i pic of the damage but this is how it looks now after being repaired and finally got it back and fitted my private reg and new wheels,

THEN......... Having just drove it out the garage and heading out for a wee drive to get used to it again, I got about 4miles and now i think the big end has let go on me I seriously felt like crying when it happened as i hadnt had the best start to ownership as it was!
But heyho look on the bright side (if there is one) im going to get the engine fully rebuilt and got some nice mods to go along with it

SO WATCH THIS SPACE
