damo's old car used to belong to me as well, sold it about 8 mths ago to a bloke who had a cover car in fast or performance ford, it was the feature with the s1, s1 cabrio lookalike, and the s1 estate lookalike.
havent heard much of the car since tho!

 

mint get it donr bro

 

that's in my mates garage, aint done anything to it yet as he has also bought a mk3 converted pick up

 

pic of his other one

 

Sorry peeps theres no updates, just come out of hospital. needed 3 opperations after nearly loosin my hand in the garage.Tripped over the extension lead and went straight through the glass door window which sliced straight through my hang slicein straight through all my tendends, slicein 2 of my muscles straigh in half leaving me with 152 stitches and needing skin grafts and maybe loosin my ability to use my right hand ever again

 

thats not good news mate hope it gets better

 

fuck that mate
you'll just need to learn to wank with your left hand then

 

carlo.. thanks m8 so do i
allbluepete.. lol ill have to

 

look on the bright side mate,it might feel like someone else is doing it until you get used to being a left hooker
mate had a similar injury a good few years ago after an incident with a large plate glass window,he decided on the way home from the pub that he wanted a carry oot just a shame the shop was shut at the time
the fanny kicked the window in and walked into the shop,as he did a huge piece of glass fell from the top of the window frame,he stuck his hand up to stop it hitting his head and it sliced just about right through 3 of his fingers,got a lot of use back in his hand but took a while and a good load of physio,not 100% but useable
imagine your hand will just feel about as useful as a claw just now but keep your chin up it will get better bud

 

any pics on this project?

sorry

 

bloody hell Hope it gets better

 

hope u get better mate

 

hope u get well man..soz

 

hope yea hands going to be ok mate ,good look

 

That's terrible news As said, hopefully with physio and patience you'll get a good lot of use back from it. It sounds nasty and so unlucky Good luck with it, here's hoping the car work can continue at some point in the not-too-distant future

 

Hiya people the project is up and running again but with a little twist.................................... its now going to be a.................... youl all have to wait till i post the next picstues up
