The car is now on the road Taxed and Mot'd
only advisory i had was the parking brake was needing fixed so I will get that looked at come pay day, my suspicions are that the bushed will need replaced soon, that or the brake pads are jumping about a bit...

the rear bumper is hanging off, gonna have to investigate into that too

Just realised you replied Chris, yeah It's great up here, come for a visit :)


Keeping this wee dick for the winter, it's a great daily hack for me, it has enough power for me to be using on the a82 to over take motorhomes and tourists travelling at 20-35 mph
so for all it owes me I may as well stick in with it...

Will update this properly when Photobucket starts working again! :(

Cheers Kristoffer, just need to work on body work, will concentrate on that after the winter- just getting it protected is my priority the now

The wheels that the car came on are hideous so I managed to get a good set of 5's unkerbed for a good price...
Only downfall was the colour... as you will see in time..

Image

I then looked into making it look a bit smarter and decided to give the number plate tub a little refresh...
I went a bit heavy on the sandpaper and almost instantly regretted it, you live you learn..

need to sort out a rear bumper bracket so if anyone knows of one that is breaking pm me cheers

Just think, If they made a car that could clean itself, but i guess that would take the fun out of it,

:lol: I would be ok with that tbh, it's only fun when the car has good paint in the first place :)

Speaking to a couple of boys about paint, got a friend that has just qualified as a sprayer, but he doesnt have a lot of time... and I want quite a quick turn around when it comes to doing it...

the others are down central belt Scotland... sucks at times living in the middle of nowhere :evil:
