what you getting?
hope you stripped it for parts before it was taken, can't believe it really, you was making real good progress mate
WTF is wrong with you, that was a decent shell, easy repaired too. Why'd you dump it?
Shame mate :|
I thought you were making good progress.
What was wrong with it?

lol..is that it? woulda took few weeks tops. I repaired twice as much as that and mine is fit for another few years on the road. If people give up just as soon as a lil bit of rust turns up, there'd be none left!
im stil at school though so money and time are realy tight!
dont get me wrong i would have loved to carry on and get it finished but i just couldnt manage it not along with loads of other work that i need to do!
I was until the last 5 months..hence why my "project" took 12 months, as it took time/money that I didn't have, but it was definately worth the wait!
Good luck on the next one tho fella
