Default destruction of my cosworth! updated 4/2/07

well due to my car being written off by the insurance company it came to the point where it needed stripping and breaking for parts.

everyting to go apart from the engine and afew other bits which will be kept for my next project

well with the help from 'the beard' and 'Big Tony Rs' the work began






ran out of time at the weekend so she was pushed back in the garage to be continued next weekend
