No bother, nice little car there, love seeing what other people are doing as it helps me think on how to get things done to mine... Ill Try get some up soon once I get my new camera, hopefully be here next week!
Im the same man, I like looking through other peoples projects because it gives me ideas for my car!
Sadly it failed MOT yesterday, meaning I've had to have the anti roll bar rubbers replaced, and put two new tyres on the front! Because I didnt have the money to put 4 tyres on the new wheels, Im having to stick with the old steelies for now :(

Haha You think being an apprentice is bad, im doing a last year of school, and my only income is 8hrs a week working in a shop (Its usually 16hrs, but i had to cut them for exams) its not good right now... Nice Plan!

Nice one mate, that's a good line of work to get into, I've got a mate who's starting as an electrical engineer in a nuclear plant nearby and he's on something like 50000 a year!
