A little news...


For anyone that doesn't know, I may have crashed the car... a little bit.




But fixed it again, just waiting for the paint to come.



Will do a video spraying the candy red.
Check out my channel for that and other stuff I'm doing over the next few weeks. Will keep this thread updated as I do stuff too.

Very nice repair, you can fit some cameras inside the vents to keep an eye out for bollards....

Hi Lee .
Great build - I'm looking at something similar but with an Audi engine in it. Where did you get the body kit from? - I can only source it from the States...

Yeah, shifter cables got..."sacrificed" as engine was coming off due to weird angle and no access. They're a royal pain to remove and re-install but it's done now  s:D :D s:D
