yeah it was from Jason.... there is nothing left in it now besides the interior from when i bought it.

New motor, new exhaust, new paint, no dodgy repairs.
Just need to clean up the wiring and i'll be happy now

everything was dodgy... and we still find stuff now that has been done very badly.

the panel beater who has just finished with the car has said he has never seen such bad repairs in the past.... took over 3 months to get the body right

i am slowly getting the car to a point where i am happy with it


Drove it for the 1st time in 4 months yesterday... makes it all worth the $$$$

The blue one is the car that went through the epic repair process years ago?

I remember reading about that one on SC.
