[2fast2catch]

I know im a bit late in putting pics up but she is not done yet so technically im still allowed to post this lol

So the work begins - with alot of help from some great mates (and my fella)

worked through the snow with the help of regular supply of tea



found dead crank so ordered new one, picking it up today so the work will restart tonight on putting her back together.



if all goes to plan will be having a 'car back in one piece' party on saturday night lol

I see the cheeky MR2 on the drive too - must be Jap car fans in your household then?

 

[2fast2catch]

nope, engine was out in one and a half days,

everyone helping was off a local japanese car forum so we had our 200 and 3 mr2's in the street that day, plus our cav, a mondeo and a fiesta that turned up
