    Can't wait till the 8th of Aug. Car goes into the repairers. Getting the qtr and bonnet done as well.
    Gonna buy a second hand door and guard for the other side since there both damaged Will be cheaper than getting it repaired.

    It just has lows in it.
    Im thinking of engine upgrades.
    Either finding an 8 or getting another 6 and rebuilding it and charge it.
    Maybe even doing interior work, like new floor carpet, a change in carpet on the seats and stato dash.
    Also wonna fix up a few more panels, might do that myself or buy some from a wreck to swap over.
    Think thats as far as ive got so far. We will see how these plans fold out with apprenticeship wages. haha.

    I should put up the couple of upgrades i have.
    Made brackets to fit VT seats. Both are in.
    Changed to the frosty side indicators cause the other ones didnt sit well.
    Working on getting window regs in. First reg out is stuffed cause the wires frayed.
    Painted the engine cover to suit the car. With silver on the main writing.
    Will try to get pics soon.

    Not much has happened to her yet.

    She has recieved a re tune by The1 and a Mace 25mm manifold spacer.
    And the engine cover is matched to the car.

    OK. Quick update.
    Finally got around to doing this:
    To the wreck. (Note to self - do it on concrete next time. So much easier!!!)
    and have also bought an M90.
    Now just to save and buy stuff to rebuild the engine from scratch.
    Im doing this for experience and shits and giggles.
