    Job well done its turned it into a good looking car. Was it a bit heart breaking ripping the old car to bits?? You should put the standard grill back in, will make it look even more cleaner from the front.

    As I've said a number of times, it's a lovely car. Very shiney and looks as good in the flesh as it does in the pictures, just a shame about the top mount

    Dont worry, I still have her Grille in the Garage, Along with her Absolute Peach of a engine. Just Waiting tobe fitted to the Manual.

    And Yes It hurt to break her, But after fitting a 850r Gearbox (which was also knackered) it was her time.
