To be honest with you, I will probably buy replacement structural parts and get a bodyshop to straighten it up.

Right, been on a bit of an ordering spree.

Ordered a new sunglass holder and metal plate, the full rear electric window conversion, cdx extra rear door seals, and some smooth yellow hammerite paint for the calipers. I'm also going to order the correct security pass for my car as well shortly. Also ordered loads of tools etc that I'd been needing to get certain jobs done and that, was about time I got some things to be honest!

So today I have a few other jobs to be getting on with, mainly wiring in the recaro seats so the electric seat height adjustment works. I also still need to remove the rear door cards and replace them with my new all black ones too.

Then its back onto the axle stands, and I've the cambelt outer plastic cover to replace, and I'll probably remove the plenums so I can clean them as they are filthy. I'm also considering painting the rocker covers - I actually have a spare set sat in the garage. Will strip it all down, then worry about it! Speaking of which, I need some clips for the plenum hoses as its got hose clips on now that look totally crap! Though I'm undecided, because I fancy some yellow Roose motorsport plenum hoses! lol.

So yeah, the engines coming to pieces! I've decided to carry on mainly because the engine parts can be re-used in another chassis.

Should keep me busy while my new parts are delivered, then I'll be fitting them.

Well I got totally side tracked... And ended up removing the bumper and wing on the driver side and the news is not good at all.

To be honest, Donna is as likely to work on a car as me Mark. She loves it as much as I do, which makes it even more awesome as she joins in, rather than stands back oblivious to whats happening and moaning! lol.

It'll be in main chat shortly, just uploading pics as we speak. Donna is seriously cool. She can cook, but I like too as well. Quite enjoy my cooking I do!
