my s50'd turd.... a few new pics.

[penton08]

a few pics of how my car has evolved....

firstly i started with this....

a bargain ebay sport, the s50 dream was alive for about 5 seconds after getting it home to find it was a rotten turd!! not to be beaten, i decided to use it as my daily driver. i then got a 100% rot free rolling shell to start the project on, but i forgot to take any pics before i fitted the engine


next came another victim.

i drove this around for a month to make sure it was a good lump, and it was!! after many months of saving and spending i ended up with this...








it is still work in progress and always will be

[Topblag]

Very nice mate, and you've got a nice long runway to test it on

I was driving along the dual carriageway minding my own business and some stupid bint in a clio pulled out right in front of me, Resulting in a 70 mph spin that ended in the central reservation 3 weeks after getting it painted Agreed value insurance FTW

Who is your insurer and what do you pay if you dont mind me asking? I expect you had to claim on your own policy for the repair?

I am insured by equity red star via Adrian flux. Last years premium was £420, I did claim on my own insurance and i had to re new a few weeks after the crash. It has now jumped to £1200 On the plus side they where very prompt to sort it out and did not argue to much over the cost of repairs

[Jhonno]

Not bad not bad..

Seats look lush!

[goosiegander]

Detailing action next week dude!
