my 3dr resto, top 2 bottom. paint shop pics now added 23/06/2009

Hi everyone been doing this for a couple of month now just have'nt had time to post up pics.

all comments welcome

The project started because of a crank bearing failing on me on the motorway, started a rebuild, which then has lead to a full resto and loads of money

il start with the pics from day one when i brought it a year ago, and see were i get from there.

ALSO I WAS 18 WHEN I BROUGHT THE CAR OWNED IT FOR 2 YEARS NOW.

LUCKY ME.

WORK HARD, DAY IN DAY OUT. FUCK THE BIRD SPEND IT ON THE MOTOR. LOL.SHHHH DONT TELL HER THAT SHE WILL KILL ME.
