the car's current progress so far




Not too bad considering :-)

The photo on the left (approx. September 2003) is the car up on it's hind legs so to speak because the starter motor was dead, it needed replacing. Have a close look, there's parts missing on the car, the petrol cover wont close because there is no petrol cap (just a plastic bag) the back light is smashed and the wheels look awful.

The photo on the right is what the car looks like as of June 03, 2004.
