Hi, im thinking of replacing the copper brake lines that run from the ABS thingy under the bonnet and run along the side of the car to the rears. They have been replaced by an amateur at some point, they aren't routed properly and look to have been done by Stevie Wonder! Its obviously going to be a ...

I was thinking of cutting the rear arches out to weld into mine to replace my rusty ones. I was thinking of cutting from the sill, all the way around...

Just got home. Fuel pump is on its way out. The poor manchetts bloke is paid a flat rate, even for Christmas day, £8 odd. He was pleased to see my car, he owned several in the past. Super helpful and towed me home.

On a run i see 32 from my c20ne.
Round town, probably less than 20. Brutal
I work in a petrol station, and when people moan about their car or filling it up, i point to my innocent looking vauxhall and tell them what its like. Soon shuts them up.Il never sell it though.
