Yes and I think I will be investing in a car cover for the summer....... noticed the passenger side of the car was bad and the drivers was fine, worked it out the side is always on the passenger side when I've the car parked up.

So gonna wrap her up when it's not being used and when I finially buy a house this year or next be in a garage then :)

Right went up to Old School Engineering yesterday for a nose and a chat.

Didn't do to much, body wise because the chassis legs were slightly out, not just from my bump but from before I had the car by the looks. Thought this myself when I took the slam panel and bumper off and saw a bit of rust on the front plate on the passenger chassis leg, it's all spot on now and this is how it's looking.

After a chat decided to get my roof lining done in black instead of the cream it is right now, so dropping that up there on tuesday and going to get aero bonnet pins instead of the usually bonnet pins I got now.

Good to see an update Dave. Can't believe how much bad luck you were having with the suspension, I would have just thrown it out the window. Hate having to send things off and wait 3 weeks to get them back when they should have been right in the first place. I would have definitely recommended a GAZ suspension setup.

Good luck with all the bodywork stuff

that cossie, he haven't heard off the owner since last november. He went in for a knee operation and thats all he knows!

With the suspension, Im glad I finally went wiv bilstein, even if they cost a bit more.

It's been a long time comin and spent most the time hatin the ibiza and thinkin of breaking it lol.

do you mind me asking what sort of money this is setting you back and also the cost of the new bumper from stealers?

Its 100 pound panel and 200 pound for the inside. Cant remember how much the bumper was think it's 90 pound plus vat. I managed to get trade prices.


(I would use the pound symbol but my phone won't let me into the symbol bit)

Since I can't hear any music from the two tiny speakers in the dash board, I've removed my cd player and going to replace it with these Stack Gauges, Volts, Oil Temp and Oil Pressure

Bit late posting these, haven't been near a pc since saturday morning....

Went up to the body shop on saturday afternoon to find the snot in pieces! The inside has now been sprayed and I'm shocked with how bright the colour really is :funk:

It's a shame that the photo's don't actually show how bright it really is, it's got to be seen! Anyway enough typing and more pics [B)]

How the car is looking now, I wouldn't like to be the one putting it back together.
