hey all... i dont know whether many of u remember me but my cars progressing slowly! after my corsa got stolen for the 3rd time i decided 2 get rid of it and concentrate on a new car! a mk1 golf! ive posted up a few threads of how the car has progressed and now shes sprayed
heres a few piccies for u
shes had a respray in subaru wr1 blue and shes had an engine rebuild...
thats how the lump looked b4 the rebuild!!
and this is how she stood b4 the paint job and during the paint job...
and this is her b4 all the windows and everything else went in!!
soooo her it is for ur critism!!
