Yeah, sorry, i am registered, just wasnt logged in when i made the post :$

Got your message on MSN, will let you know developments. It was nicked from a bodyshop, along with a load of other cars, think they may have got one of the cars back, but not mine :(


Will look into using photobucket, but then how do i link it? i could link it from my own webspace if iknew the code - time to brush up my html

Make a list of the parts that are on the car.

+ Tell us anything that is noticeable about the shell or components.

OK, its mk2 2 door auto shell, pretty rust free, a bit round the bottom of the doors, theres a small hole in the spare wheel well, and it leaks water down the passenger side of the front bulkhead when it rains. Allessio or something like that 5 spoke alloys with full set of brand new yokohama tyres (done about 30 miles), cobra bucket seats inexpertly mounted on 2 different seat mounts, safety devices half roll cage (bolt in), rs steering wheel, the rear spoiler R1 twin plane (which actually works at top speed!!), bias brake balance box, 5 speed box, 1660 crossflow. one of the rear windows has some yellow writing on it and a different cars reg no. coz i had to replace that when the stereo got nicked, so no stereo but theres 2 JBL speakers on the rear shelf, oh yeah under the rear shelf the metals all chewed up where holes were cut for the speakers. Its pretty hard to drive, no power steering, no brake servo, no tickover coz of the cam (and the lack of tuning) and its been sitting for a year and a half. THe exhaust rubs on the drive shaft and makes a racket, it loses water and the battery goes flat, but once its going it flies!

Or it did till the wankers nicked it

Taken from Stirling Panelcraft, New Road, Rainham, with some other cars too.

Oh and the stripes down the middle extend on to the front spoiler now (not sure what spoiler it is on the front)
