Hmm, I think I'll replace that safety catch pin with a nice new high tensile job. SO are you going round telling people you have the fastest thing on four wheels that can't see where its going?

horrible isan't it nick.. my mini had the same thing happen,, bonnet had to be removed to get pulled down,, the hinges did the same thing,,, ripped through the top gutter there.. it was a long way from hitting the windscreen through brenton,, the angle has to go back much further through the gutter to do so.. Mine is still sitting there awaiting cash for repairs,, now rusting but with a student budget, nothing i can do until then,, Let me know how much it ends up costing you mate, I'd be interested. check ur pm's, sent you one, to see you tomorrow about that other stuff.. |
