Awesome! My first car was a 1.6 finesse 3 door

It was a pepper red gti replica with morrettes and some cheap 17" 5 spoke alloys! Loved flying about in it

Keep the updates coming

Well done mate, a good place to be 19 and just starting out tinkering with cars, done a better job than I did at your age.
Gearbox fell out of my mini so I drilled a hole through the roof, wrapped rope around it and tied a knot, it stayed like that for another 2 years haha

Thanks matey, I been playing with cars for a few years now, but this and my mk2 fiesta are my "big projects". My first car was for Xmas at 15 and was a "classic" panda that needed a new clutch. So I done that and that was a real fun car to drive lol. Haha love the mini story. What car have you got now?
