Image
some little fude packing, no life, no teeth, no sense c**t decided to graffiti on my wing, its pretty awesome graffiti, im glad they ruined something that took me fooking hours to do, i left it round the corner from work, and in broad daylight, nothings fudgekin sacred any more :(

Image
left
Image
and right sides de striped for colour coding too...

Image
phat camber ;)



and this :( brand new tyre, not dont 500 miles...
Image

still unsure about what engine im going to go for, theres so many to choose, and loads of my mates want me to go with a puma lump, but i dunno :( im on the lookout for a like engine, that i can just get right in there
saying this, is there any difference between a silvertop and blacktop zs engine?

uninsured now, so work starts next payday (11 days away :D)

your tyre is worn on one side down to your tracking fella.
have u had it re tracked since fitting the new track rod end ?

regards to wing ... im guessing they bolt on with zetec s ?
if so unbolt it get all stickers off and take it to a fairly good street sprayer. they will proberly paint it for £65 - £80 for a good job inc baking it on. :)

cracking list mate, should sort it out and some!

if you want my advice leave it off the road till you done msot of that list, or it wont get done, in my experience atleast lol

like you said work and college aint "too" far of a commute, cycling 6.5miles to college aint the worst thing for your health :P

nah that above is way to flat and dull to be satin, satin shimmers slightly


i cant stand some cars done in matt/satin
ruins a good car imo


and unless you sand it smooth for hours, its quite unreversable too
