for those that have'nt seen it, this is epic
Discussion
kup on a dent job if you ask me...
As the OP of the thread referenced, can I ask what's wrong? The way I see it is I'm temporarily saving a CAT C car, one which so easily could have been binned by now. Even once it slowly rusts I will be extending the life of the heart of the car by fulfilling a dream and building a kit car.
I've never touched bodywork before and yes I've made a terrible mess of my first attempt. The thread doesn't pretend to be anything it's not, now it's passed an MOT and if it passes the identity check, I will be having another go to make it look smarter.
Sorry of it puts anyone's nose out to see me not treating an old cheap car like a garage queen, but for economising on fixing parts of a car that will eventually see the scrap yard.
I promise, if anything needs replacing that will end up on the kit, no expense shall be spared. I have my eye on 4 new tyres and a refurb of the alloys, since those bits will be retained.
Sorry for the mini rant, and to those who see the car and me for what they are, thanks.

Thanks. I fully intend to enjoy driving it. Itching to get out and grab some top down motoring. VIC is booked for April 20th and then I assume I have to wait until the v5 comes through to tax it. So sadly it's off the road until then. top work

As soon as its done, it's 4 new tyres and an hour on a hunter machine.
