hi,
been meaning to put some pics up for a while,
these are prob the worst i could have taken but was in a rush so thought id give you a taister!
It has 12,104 miles from new and is as new,
bought off a fellow member from here and have been cleaning it to as new condiction ever since(even though was very clean to start with,
will hopefully be at a few shows this year once i get to do the backend of the underside, front is done

heres a few pics of the work on the engine done so far
better ones to follow i promise......

That looks a lot like mine did when I bought it, except mine was a 1.2i and only had 4500 on the clock. Mine cost ?600!!!. Makes me feel really guilty for ripping it to pieces :( :( :(
