No major plans...
sort a few niggles keep it fairly stock.
Until i strip the interior out of it and get a better idea of the quality of previous repairs etc!! If it's a decent looking shed, might as well go a bit mad and wide arch this one!?!

Didn't get it sorted until an hour after they closed either... typical eh?!!

sorry to hear that someone have hit your car and you only just bought it!
how bad is the damage?

you are right about the size of the car park and still hitting the car. must have either been at truck of some sort or someone not looking where they were going.

Shoved wiper arm and boot lock, dented the panel quite badly. Bumper doesn't look damaged, tho it had gone in a bit, so rear panel might b a mess too. Will have a proper look when the concierge is in and i can see the CCTV, find out who's paying for it!!

I'm betting a short blonde woman driving a 4x4 Audi or BMW who could barely see over the steering wheel who had the car bought by her husband for her to nip to the shops in

LOL. My thoughts were that this car was too straight and original for such madness...
it's a bit more likely than it was yesterday now though!!
Got a rear quarter and a front wing lined up to start making the patterns,
so i can sit in the comfort of my own home over the crap winter... and work out how to make flat steel do what i want it to!?!

Only the Grim Reaper! Not happy that i've kicked his ass a couple of times!?!
I know what you're saying, but the Mk1 was stolen from an address that had no connection with me,
and this car is so new no-one around here knows it's mine!
I'm just high up on the list of the world's unluckiest people!!
Maybe i broke a load of mirrors at some point...
or maybe Karma is doing a number on me for being someone evil in a past life...
i decline to speculate further!?!

Had a day of running around collecting parts...
my god this is a great car to drive!!
Not even throwing it around on the bends or nailing it on acceleration as i had the dog in the car.
But just the noise and feel of the old A-series is fantastic!

I personally don't know yet, but it is all on CCTV and burned to disc for the Police.
I wasn't allowed to view the footage due to data protection crap...
but the Police will have to tell me who it was for insurance purposes.

This front valance REALLY needs fitting asap!!

And i think i've figured out why i feel so ropey lately!?!
It's altitude sickness!!
Did you ever see anything so far off the ground that wasn't a 4x4??
Needs a tap with a lowering stick, urgently!?!
