thanks for all the comments lads. :)
this brother of mine is vtec mad :evil: but he will start with the bodywork first.
and c what happens after that.
if u could email me another entry form that would b great billy thanks :D

we got the car off a guy outside granard he brings in bikes and quads from england and sells them here. he brought in this mini for his cousin and then his cousin got killed on a bike so it was lying around his house so he advertised it on gumtree. and my bro had a honda nsr 125 that he could not sell so we did a part exchange . its was a good deal and everybody happy :D
