Just thought I'd post some photographs of my 'progress' from yesterday.

Hardest part of the day was removing the rear beam as the 14year old bolts did not want to budge and the braided brake lines strangely, which were stuck rock solid. All came off in the end.

I'm sad to see her like this but its for the best and I know her parts are all going to good places and to use. I will be looking out for them on your cars next show season lol

Most parts have gone but some are still available. I need to sell them to fund my next project. The shell is still available too if anyones interested. Its in very good condition and needs a good home.... :D

Only a few parts to take off now....

Al there, using his secret film-maker techiniques to keep everyone on the edge of suspense and anticipating the press release informing of the identity of his next project....oooooh. lol

I wanna strip mine for parts too, but haven't got anywhere to do it. Guess i'll just sell it to some chav.

Being sold mate. Almost everything is off it bar some of the engine and fuel tank. Then whoever wants is can make an offer/arrangements. I will be posting better pics up on Saurday probably (the weathers been too bad here to take some recently) as quite a few people have asked.
