It is looking a bit sorry for itself
Still missing a couple of things, 3dr grill mesh and a heatshield.
I hope my parts from Matt Lewis arrive today

It's been almost 2 years since I killed it
I did want it done for the PF RR day but it ain't going to happen now.
Family comes first, saving money for our trip to Disney.

Good attitude, family and finance before cars
I go through spells of spending and not spending on the cars, trying to get some of my money back that I've spent out recently back into the bank..
What's good is I've just learned to weld. So plenty of cheap jobs to be done whilst the pennies appear back in the bank

Not 100% on the move yet mate, waiting to hear.
It's not about the money Pete but about a change of life for the family and a new interesting challenge for me. The basic is 5k more though lol
I wish I had your spare cash at the end of the month lol
