That handbrake is even higher than last time!!

Maybe sort out the dangerous disrepair of your braking system before doing anything else?

As above i noticed your hand brake needs tightening or whatever, shouldnt go half that distance.

Car looks good though, id get it lowered, sort the handbrake

Looking good. Handbrake is an easy fix from what I've seen. Pissing myself at how high it is.

How many cars you had now?! Only seems like 6 months since u passed your test!

Its a shame if this ones fucked but If your on such a tight budget buy something solid and reliable, surely that eliminates sub Ł1k Fords?! LOL!!
