good news and bad news today.

lets start with the good news.
today i refitted my small engine cover and looks great, as the results are great the engine cover will be done



more good news, today i helped nick fit his polished inletmani and this also looks great. his bay really looks the business, well done m8.

now for the bad news. me and nick need to go to the local auto store so we went up in my car and for some stupid reason the bonnet catch fail my bonnet swung right open and hit the roof of my car. this really got to me as i havnt had alot of luck already this week. twice 2 women hit my work van so this was the icing on the cake.
few pics of my car looking sad






the hunt for a new bonnet begins

 

[D.K]

Bloody hell your lucky it did'nt do the windscreen

 

[Spirit Furtive]

Damn that sucks, could have been a hell of alot worse though. You need to find a black bonnet or can you get one sprayed?

 

[sambryant]

yes darren i cant work out how it didnt break the windscreen. its wraped its self around it. still im pretty sad.

 

[D.K]

Did you brake as soon as you saw it coming up ? might have been the braking that stoped it hitting the windscreen too hard

 

[sambryant]

yes i guess so m8 but it happend so fast. it hit the windscreen preety dam hard. well now the bonnet is slightly straight, if you lift it up so that it touches the windscreen the bonnet is over a foot away from the roof, the bonnet has dented 2 small dents in the roof. really cant work out why the windscreen didnt break.

 

[Murdered LCR]

Ouch not about that
