not too long after i got it

last months mods:

now

So far I`ve managed to get a new front bumper for it and will be putting it in the bodyshop shortly for a new front panel

Ouch?

What mods have you done under the bonnet?

Did you not have pics on the Island website with your engine on a bench etc or am I confusing your car with someone elses?

Keep us updated with your progress... make sure you post pics as you go along?

No I haven`t had the engine out of mine but I think I know who you`re on about. It`ll be fixed, I`m thinking of maybe going 2.5 for the engine too. Under the bonnet wise there`s not a lot to be honest. Due to my age I`ve only modded it lightly till the insurance drops sufficiently.

But JD doesn't have a mate? :toofunny:

Does he still have his Scooby? He was talking of selling it.

Posted: **Thu May 10, 2007 10:44 pm**

oh yes he still has it. he sold the house instead

i`m sure you`ll all hear all about it when he next gets online

Posted: **Thu May 10, 2007 10:46 pm**

So, tell us about your accident? Was Spike driving your motor?

Posted: **Thu May 10, 2007 10:49 pm**

No, the sun was in my eyes as the road rises at the end of it to join the main road and basically, I hit a parked milk float at 15mph

Posted: **Fri May 11, 2007 12:13 am**

Ouch

Sorry to hear that. Good luck with the restoration and, as Bro says, keep the pics coming as you go along. I hope the insurance man is kind to you :wink:

Oh dear... Have you got any pics of the milk float?

Posted: **Fri May 11, 2007 8:47 am**

Yep,

Sorry to see your car like this but I know just how you feel; my son was devastated after his skirmish last month and still keeps looking at his pics. I suppose the good thing is that nobody was hurt

Posted: **Fri May 11, 2007 5:07 pm**

to be honest its kind of strange. I picked up a bmw 518i for

Bad luck tiny !

Hope you get it sorted asap

Posted: **Fri May 11, 2007 5:22 pm**

thanks mate

Posted: **Fri May 11, 2007 5:28 pm**

It's not a enjoyable experiance having a accident, no matter who the guilty party is !

But one thing can you put a "taxi" light in the roof scoop

Posted: **Sat May 12, 2007 12:22 pm**

Never nice to see mate.

On the up-side perfect excuse for even more mods

Posted: **Thu May 17, 2007 8:53 pm**

stripped the front end down last weekend:

can see the damage in more detail now

this is what i`m hoping it to look like eventually:

Keep the 22B rep front and WRC mirrors but lose the awful spots and hideous roof vent and it will be tasteful.......Different and individual.

Build it as in the pic but then go and live in Bradford where it might be appreciated. :wink:

Im almost choking aswell :shock:

Call it personal taste, but I'd be with little'un on this.

I would respray tha car rally-blue, give it some large 'tarmac' gold wheels and I'd consider Impreza WRC (97-99 model) bulging wheelarches.

Now you are talking....

Posted: **Fri May 18, 2007 3:22 pm**

the thought has crossed my mind a few times, I will see as I get to different stages of the rebuild what happens but thats definitely a possibility

Posted: **Fri May 18, 2007 10:37 pm**

Good lad!

after smashing up my scooby a couple of months ago I finally got round to taking a load of pics the other week to get quotes for repairs. About an hour after this I got a phone call from a mate offering me an sti 3 with a blown head gasket for

Posted: **Sat Jul 21, 2007 11:44 pm**

Thats looks like Ben's motor

Well looked after even, if the head gasket has gone :shock:

Posted: **Sun Jul 22, 2007 8:52 am**

yes mate you`re right, thats why i couldn`t resist it

its going into Aj`s this week sometime adn I`m coming over the bank holiday weekend so should be collecting it then

Posted: **Sun Jul 22, 2007 7:11 pm**

Why did the head gasket go ?

Ben was a true enthusiast and the car was always in first class
condition, pretty sure he would'nt have cut corners on it.

Posted: **Sun Jul 22, 2007 9:57 pm**

I dunno mate, there were a few problems with the rad a while back but they got sorted. These things happen though. And beleiev me I know how much Ben looked after this car

Posted: **Tue Jul 24, 2007 8:22 am**

Nice looking car - the best colour of course
