t-cut it and it'll be perfect but dont forget to stick an egg in the rad....it might leak otherwise :)

really though and just to mirror your thoughts Claire, its more a pain in the arse than a problem

see that's what i thought on first spec too as did Suze but just doesn't seem like it is? its a mystery akin to Aarons badger conundrum:lol:

bolts are all in a little ikea food box,got quoted £25 for slam panel from that guy,shall i just get it then? prob cost more to ship it,although will probably revise it when i ring back!

haha i was only kidding ;)

the pics don't look that bad, but it's sometimes hard to get the pics to show the full extent of damage!
the bonnet clip is the most noticeable from the pics!

p.s. tell him £10 + P&P see what he says (most likely he'll accept it) i got mine off fleabay for a tenner (and wasn't too far from me, so i picked it up)

all parts should be here for thursday :D didn't get a slam panel as the one i could've has been welded so i don't think so!! better get cleaning my bay,so new coolant bottle,rad,rocker cover to be sorted accordingly as n when,reverse switch as mine is playing silly buggers,rear tow eye cover,new oem headlight and a touch up stick for those annoying bits,although i bet it doesn't match :)

this walking to work lark sucks,8miles today!! my bike is knackered as well,gears keep slipping and giving me serious injuries :(

bits started arriving today:D do they normally chuck the fan in with the rad been a long long time since i got a rad from a scrappy??? anyway,dads taken it home to check no leaks etc and i'm gonna put the newish coolant bottle back on and blast the pipes out.

thought she deserved a little treat,so she's now in possession of a set of Sparco carbon fibre pedals which should gripfill on quite nicely,i will make them fit :cartman: bargain of the day me thinks,tenner from Halfrauds bargain bin :D

They wont be road legal them pedals!

Don't use gripfill! Drill and bolt them like you're sposed to!

legal,pah;) best wait til after MOT time next week and what's the chances of the filth spotting em?

i'm just being a lazy bitch with the gripfill idea,due to my impatience,hehe! they'll wait i suppose :D
