Finally got this last night, needs a littl bit of work doing to it, but for free i cant complain. still mot'd and tax'd, engine is knocking and bonnet and a few other bits need painting.
i had my licence revoked (2 speeding offences in first 2 years, took the dvla after their fuck up 3 and a bit years to get it sorted) i should hopefully have passed my test again in around 2 months so in the meantime im going to get this up and running so its ready for the day i pass :)

Heres some pics.

Constant quizzical questions!

What does that do?
Why has it done that?
Where to I get one of them?
Why wont that undo?
Why cant I do it up again?
HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GET TO THAT?
Why are my hands too big?
Is it all worth it?
Where is Chris H when you need him?
