Time to upload my project. Starting at the beginning. Bought off my mate at a bargain price.
Had the car few years now but not on the road.
So happy to be driving it again.

Yeah. I paid a hole £230 for the car.. It had been sat in my mates garage for a year. Brakes stuck and flat battery. Jumped it off. Cracked the braked off by toeing in and reving engine. Mate said make him an offer so said £300 half joking which he said yes too. Lol then he fort it was too much so said if it failed he knock mot off. Failed on a licence plate light rear and brake pipe so knocked 30 off. Lol. Then his oven broke and I had one id took out off a kitchen so gave him it and he knocked another 40 off. Lol.

I fell in love with this car the first time I saw the roof go down.

Got a carbon bonnet. Bought full body kit, lexus lights, steering wheel, carbon bonnet and a carbon spoiler. He didnt realize what he had cos got it all for 150. £25 each for carbon bonnet and spoiler. Bargain. The bonnet was a bit tired needed recoating but gonna wrap it. Weighs nothing compared to my old bonnet. Sold all my old parts and made all my money back. So its been pretty cheap so far.
