Right, as i probably said about 2 months ago im gna sort the motor!
But insurance is due on friday an i only have 30% of the cash. On the plus side my alloys (2nd choice as preferance arent available till end of may/beginnin of june or sumthin whack!!) should be fitted tomorro along with new pads as the hard drivin is takin its toll and the squeak is annoyin!Got smoked repeaters, sorted stereo an speakers an just waitin for cash flow to increase to sort sub and lights.
Tintin quotes are comin in so its all good.
Gotta sort new bumpers, thinkin 16v ones?
Pics up in next hour hopefully!
Let me kno what you think!
