shocking thing is my dads car only suffered a broken back lense and bent bumper , thats good old english cars for you!!!
the merc was demolished beyound recognition and the engine block was sitting in half on the floor....lol it was also a customers car on its wauy back to them after being repaired
she was not to bad after the accident but things got worse after the son came along and have progressed from there .
she has now had three ops in total and fingers crossed this one will make her life a lot easier.

if you look at the picture the 3 discs that are visible have nothing left between them , thats why the rods are there to take the stress off the bad discs and keep her back supported , will take about a year for full recovery from the surgery.
will post another pic up in a sec

Thanks, the wheels need a bit more paint and I need to get the decals off the tyres, They dont fit the other way round.

Dave you're a bad influence.

i like the lettering on the tires, still a few bits left that make it look like a track car so suits it.
if you want rid though just use some 1200 grit on them

awesome roughly what size are the wheels? if they fit in standard scooby tires ill probably just use them anyway and you can keep a the tires for yourself or whatever
what do you want your bodykit making for btw? saloon or estate?
