Fixed your pics you have to put [IMG] instead of url

Car looks rough tbh :lol: but plans sound ace :)
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

i know lads shes a bit ugly at the moment but easy fixes,
i was looking at the rust yesterday and i think i might just replaice the
driver front and pasengers rear doors, then sort the bonet and bumper
out, im trying to avoid a full re-spray
