Up at 7 30am, met my dad with a trailer to tow my corsa up to wakefield to get engine conversion done by J100RSA (187 miles there). It took 4 of us about an hour to get the car on the trailer cos it was so low!  Got stuck in an 18 mile traffic jam on the way up, arrived about 4 hours late. Getting car off trailer up there, and it slipped off one of the ramps, cracking one of the side skirts really badly, and pulling the front bumper away from the body  Bit gutted but its fixable. Then had to drive to essex to pick up my dads new car (1951 Austin Hereford that he;s gonna restore), got caught in bank holiday traffic on M25. The guy we bought the car off also didnt shut up, so we were another hour late - unloading the car at my dads, and it wont start cos battery is flat, so that was another mission. Finally got home about 10 mins ago, just a little bit tired! Essay over.

Im picking it up again on wednesday next week hopefully, if i can get a lift up there! I bought the donor car for £750, £480 for fitting kit from coss vaux, and £500 labour. Danny (J100RSA) is buying the shell off me though for £100 i think, and i can sell the digidash and alloys on there to make a bit more back. He also reckons my car is gonna be too low to drive with my current set up, so i got to get coilovers too, but i got no money unless i can borrow some more! I hope its all worth it, but something tell me it will be
