Happy 21st Crezz.

Im the first one to say it! :p. I was 21 back in July and I have to say, it isn't much different tbh.

Going to keep an eye on this thead mate. If I can get a garage from the local council I'm tempted to get alittle project of my own. It isnt that bad tbh, yes it needs work but thats all part of the fun. When I saw the reg-plate I thought it would be alot worse. Least getting the coilovers for your birthday is one less thing to buy!!

easy to find... but if I were you I'd get all the welding sorted - that'll take the time - then decide which way you're going

get stuck in mate - will all be good in the end knowing you

just checking out the detailing on your beeza says it will a dandy one

'man made it so man can fix it' and the parts are always there somewhere - they just take longer to find sometimes that's all

try and keep it there and for heaven's sake don't count it as it goes out - or the receipts coming in :whistle:

it's easier to forget what's missing and why :headhurt:

and don't forget the parts bus rule either :doh:

enlighten me on the rule please?.

thought you had already experienced the parts bus rule in the dash wanted thread ;) :

you hunt high 'n' low for the rarest of parts at the right money only to lose patience and bung a few extra quid than you planned to spend to grab what seems to be the only one ever left on this planet.

only to tell a mate of your travels far and wide and how you paid a bit too much but worth it to get what you wanted only to have him say 'damn dude i got 2 of them in the shed you could have had for nowt'

parts are just like buses, you can't find one when you need one but get 2 come along at once when you don't :doh:
