Thanks Luke and monster. I'm really pleased with the way it's cleaned up.

I'm 80:20 in favour of keeping it now. Whereas was about to take the first £1000 to get rid !!


Oh... and i still havn't finished the central locking off yet 8)

Cheers Guys,

They did what you suggested Rover mate,

Removed windows and welded the two doors, removed section of bottom of rear door and welded that. Filled in a few small but unsightly sharp dents and even removed the roof rack and did behind those fixtures. Did it all for the price you said to play as well.

Wheels are next and the rear rsj thing. (I finally moved out of Chavgrave Kev :D )

Yeah mate i'm eternally glad to be out of that shit-hole. never known a place so full of scum. hated it with a passion and still so - i even turn down work there now and rightly so!

kev, how much would it cost for you to replace the springs on my car (55 focus) ?? I'm thinking of lowering it by 35mm or so.
