spare parts from the doner car


Presumably that would be the 'stwiches', and a slice or two from the elephant's leg.

Besides, there's something wrong with the door hinges. I'm sure it's not supposed to open in that direction.

don't like the gap between bumper and boot lid with other bits smoothed in, looks like it's full of dust from being painted.

With all that work done it could make a nice reliable car - or be a bodged dog......

25k on some very expensive paint and some batman door hinges. What an idiot.

He could have bought a mint plus or LE, put in a bit of elbow grease and modded it to 350bhp with 15k left over. Phhhhhhaahahaha!


Back into retirement, for now at least . . . Broomy will come out to play next year smile
