If it don't start working properly soon it's going on the 'bay

Well regardless of plans i think it will have to incude an engine at some point as the current one is getting a bit tired. Should be getting a nice set of brakes in the next month, and after that a new set of wheels, then it's off to the bodyshop to get some paint. Hopefully should have that sorted by march april time next year, then take it from there.

They send you letters too? First the one saying you only got one call left, then the next saying that's it, we're charging for your next callout.

Then the fuckers are still keen as fuck for me to renew with them... WTF

Looks like I'm gonna have to try for 175 then!!

Seriously though, I just want to use mine now. Its been 'Work in progress' for so long, it would be nice to actually just drive it for a while and make use of the Tax/Mot/Insurance that we pay for.

It would have to be a stupid figure to even make me consider it, as I always get attached to my cars due to the effort I put into getting it right.

So basically, Lee is the only one who could afford it

First should put some big brakes on

Then a set of cams, 400s and a .63 exhaust housing

Give it a good clean

Get into the 12s at the pod and improve my terminal speed, hoping for 120mph
