well, its been a few months, and the carbs didnt happen really, i was thinking about selling it in the summer for something more powerful, but this come along...

ive kept it quiet for a month from a lot of people i know but i cant keep it a secret for ever, so this is it...

collected this friday night for £150. Was too dark really to do anything but still had a look at what we had to do saturday, closed the bonnet left the keys under the bonnet..car was locked great start

saturday morning come along bright an early start. at 11am




started stipping it down, had to find someone to pick the car up and scrap it, engine was out about 2pm



car was going to be scrapped just before 3pm



immidetly me and torsa g and sadla xe's brother started stripping the engine down



during this week, ive not really had a lot of input on this, as ive been away training. however torsa g (tom) has been busy working away, i just left him with it and told him to spray it so it looks nice.








Plans

engine re build, with other bits but thats a secret..

more to come soon
