Default Bye bye car :cry: - Anyone else doing a rebuild at the mo?

Shes off too gadget's on saturday for the begining of my winter rebuild/upgrade which I have been collecting parts for since May lol. Hate not having the car around to drive when i want, but i guess its worth the torture in the end

Roll on 2005!!!

Anyone else taking their cars off the road for a rebuild?
