Total £3425 and it aint got an mot now ha ha ha.

And their was me thinking will get the lot done for £5000 seems now like I am going to end up spending double that. I came to a decision after doing my punto that I was going to do evrything proper first time round otherwise you end up spending the same again. eg had the punto kit sprayed black and then 2 months later decided on a full flip respray. Think this will be all untill christmas is over as its getting dangerously close and I hugley skint now lol. As for time he has it I aint to bothered now as its inside and out of the bad weather but still cant wait to see it.

A close up of the blue

your not the only one under-estimating! is that actually you scoop? looks dam nice! just get more credit cards to cover teh rest of the cost! lol

cant beleive am saying this, cuz i aint liked the car from the start. but now i think its gonna actually look nice. the amount of stuff u have done to it babe. it wont be a common car and not many other ppl will have one the same. awwww bet ur all exited xxkatexx

Been to day to tell pete at automotion the paint ive ordered and they are now going over the car with a fine combe to make sure their will be no fault in a few months time eg rust coming through again.Its going to cost me more money again but the guy he's getting to do the work is really enthusiastic and excited about working on it and has alway wanted to do something like this so hopefully that will mean I get a super duper job. The bottom of the doors are now going to be reskined and some areas on the bonnet. I just need a garage now so its not outside when I get it back lol.Am expecting it back 2nd week in december. Cant wait lol. Will get some pics in the nxt wekk or 2

Heres a pic of a rover v8 engine on ebay with a day to go £52 at the mo, only 25miles away.

nice find am changing from the v8 now to the v6 essex this was my original intention and to fit a ro34 charger as you can buy many kits for it nice find bud will be keeping my eyes on it

iirc there was a few auto grass cars using the essex v6 with supercharger they ran 230 bhp all day long with out probs,

if it is still their in a few days my mummy said she would get me it for my crimbo prezzie he he he beats aftershave and wooly jumpers lol

don't know whether this has been asked before but have you thought of insurance? there is no point throwing a supercharged v8 at it if you can't get it road legal. then again you probabily have done some shopping around and i'm just being stupid

Insurance doesnt seem to bother me to much It £140 a year now fcomp and I think this will increase to about £1000-£1500 as it wont be my main car cause I am still keeping the jag which is only £1200 a year f comp and is grp 17 I think

ever driven one? the power that it could put out, could be un-limitless, but this scoop your going for, will it not take up half of your windscreen?
