Default Oh dear, feel kinda sorry for the car really

I was going to post thes epictures 2 weeks ago, but could not find the phone to PC cable

So, here's what it used to look like - all nice and shiny, looking proud







This is what it looked like after a bit of unloving care ripping bits off lol
My friends little boy also hit it with a hammer and made the dent, he's only 5 yr old and thought he'd get told off when we said he could do it just the once

Did say 'better make it a good hit' he did







Ce le Vie, that's life as they say
Was rotten as anything though, the A pillars were snapped, the boot floor you could pull away from main body with rear toe eye hook, masses of rust and rot everywhere really

The ' normal fitting' arch snapped off when dan was ragging it against a BMW I think, said something about hitting a bump a bit too hard and the tyre just ripped it off

Ford Micastone Grey - look the dogs dangles in pure hot sunshine

purchased the car purely for the parts on it, Dan knew it was a shitter and would never pass another MOT, but he sold it on the basis the parts were worth the money paid

I made all of the purchase price back and managed to keep the engine for myself along with purchasing some BLITZ gear - boost controller and power meter and the T34 turbo which was only stolen this week

that'll be mine, BEFORE I cleaned it, hadn't been washed in 5 weeks
I kinda had to get used to the lights, but they're different so kept them
