Just got off the phone to the bodyshop thats doing my car..... they were using it as a fill-in job, so it hasnt cost me as much as i thought.

The final total..................... *drums hands on table in make-shift drumroll*............................................................................

Ԛ£1850.... to be paid in cash! WOOOOOO FCUKING HOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Thats a grand less than i was expecting, especially considering the amount of work they have done to it for me.

C.B, a bargain isnt the word mate!!! lol. i was genuinely expecting 2.5-3k.
She will hopefully be finished by the end of the summer.


Russ, the RS's went on saturday to simon13 with the lachs silver sport and i had his alpinas in direct exchange. The pinas are sold to Chaos so i get the cash for then this coming saturday. I guess i need to look for some other BBS RS's now eh! fcuk. (brakes, suspension and drive train to come 1st though unfortunately!) :cry:
