If thats what he wants to ask for it its up to him :confused: no need to spam his thread :roll:


Cars come on well cle, hopfully you wont need to sell it and can get it finished and enjoy all the hard work and money you have put in :thumb:

[Cle]

Maybe breaking pm for parts and ill get back to you.

[Annie]

All that work & effort & now your breaking? You scrapping it? or just breaking to raise funds?

[Simon 1867]

lost track of this thread but Welldone Cle, you have worked really hard and proven us all wrong about your car. It looks pretty good matey. Dont break it for parts or sell it, you will regret it in the long run.

save it till you can drive legally and go have some fun, nothing better than showing people your car and saying " I built that"

[Cle]

Here's some of the last pics i had of the car complete.
