To cut a long story short , car was in a low speed impact and the front wheel was ripped off and went down the side of the car chase was straight as i could see only thing bent was the brackets so i took chance .
month later it was looking like this

all welding sorted as fibre glass panels repaired to a very good standard

so picked her up brought it home had a little think about what i wanted it to be , how can i put it bit less grandad style .
so first of i took it to H engineering in tunbridge wells for a full geo set up , turns out its all good so happy boy .Then back to mine for a tear down the 1.8 na was not going to cut so im building a 300bhp forged turbo engine , the wheels had to go, awell as the dash , windscreen , going for carbon wrapped wheel arches , carbon nv sides and air dam and bubble screen , and hopefully full cage .Soo atm im wanted on the bottom end been rebuilt then put the new head on put it back together instal the body work then of to G19 for tuning .

That very first picture .....

Is it just me, or does that look like it wants snow chains on the back wheels & a ski set-up on the front?

OK, just me then :D

Looks like you done good!
