    Vk isnt geting driven till the mechanics avaliable apparently i might have warped a plate in my trans or my starter motors not uncatching thats what theyve told me, pritty good considering it was a brand new starter motor and only had that trans put in a few months ago anyway it sounds really bad and its very loud so to prevent from more damage i cant drive it

    nice tidy looking car. do yourself a favour though and hit that spare wheel hump with some aerosol can flat black. the overspray stands out like dogs balls

    yeah i hope everything goes smoothly with the conversion but i bet it wont haha, well i got a paint scraper and scraped the paint off, because my wheel well had a layer of burnt rubber over it and the paint stuck to that so it was easy as to scrape the rubber now its just silver but will paint it black.
