I can legally drive now.
My family and I went upto Aviemore for the week and it was on the Wednesday I could drive again so my step dad drove it up and sat there tempting me in the amazing weather. Wednesday came and when the clock struck midnight I was out and about. Felt great. It was as if nothing had changed. It was amazing.
So took some pictures when I was up with the nice scenery and all which I will put some up here and I will create a photoshoot thread with them all on.
As much as my car isnt 100% the way I wanted it for driving, its not far away. So over time and she will be perfect.
Thanks to everyone on here who has helped me with my car with advice hints and tips. I couldnt of done it without you.

Cheers pal for the comment. Means alot to get some praise.
I bought the paint from a local paintshop called Scotpaint who make it to the exact colour match for £8 for a spray can. I went there first and I was very very happy with the match so I consistantly when back there despite the slightly high price.
I know halfords do paint but I have never tried it and I wouldnt trust it tbh.
Hope that helps

Rights, its been a very long time.
The power of driving has got to me and so I have mod'ed the car since the last post. Driving is the most under-rated thing ever.
Anyway, only thing changed is repairs.
-new window since it got smashed
-new power steering rack
-new fuel filter.
Oh the joys.
Anyway, got big plans this year. Watch this spot!

It's alot simpler than it looks and sounds. Use a flatheaded screw driver to wedge it out from the side, it quiet easily pops out. Then dismantle it and spray away.
Worth it imo.
