Clutch is sorted now, welded it last night, so far so good. Just hope it holds for a while, theres not much to catch onto!

Well on the back roads beside my far theres only like room for one car really, and there was a lorry coming so my dad stopped at a corner and I had to go close behind him, but then when he drove off the tow rope was under my drivers wheel so took paint off under tow hook :( But it's getting resprayed on sat so all will be well after then, apart from my purse that is :lol:

You know that the clutch has been spot welded from factory, well it's a common fault that the spot weld gives way and thats why my clutch was on the floor. Theres a thread on here somewhere about it. Likie your new sig pic!!
