It's been on the cards for a while now, with one thing after the other.

Since I crashed, I thought id make the car all nice. 1 mistake after the next.

First, ditched my TSW 16" for some black VTR rims.

Black VT kit on my Posi Blue.... didnt look right.

Steering rack is completely pooped...

Sold my leather interior....

Everything was rattling.
And yesterday I had a blow out, thankfully I didnt crash.

Now iv gone a stripped my car, so all parts are available to buy from me.


Im now "rolling" around in a 1993 Honda CRX Del Sol. :cool:



Name change?

Not bad Jimo, once it has a respray it will look the business. Engines love the oil but keep up maintenance and they're gems.

Jason, nice example mate.

That one isnt! Head gasket was going, leaks everywhere - passenger seat always wet from the sunroof leaking! MOT failure list longer than your arm apparently. How did you fix it up Jimo? Was sold to CMS for £120 :-S

I work there... Know people in the business... sorted it out
