| I know I only posted a build thread like 2 days ago for my Golf, but I was going through some old boxes in the garage and came across this old air loom Its still written off cat c crashed it 6 months ago into a lil old lady (skank) outside co op in Huntingdon wasn't my fault btw she pulled out after not noticing this yellow thing heading towards her then once she did notice she decided to stop and watch the rest happen I drove into the side of her brand new red Hyundai, she claimed I was driving way too fast and tried gangin up on me with her family behind her I just replied to all her comments with f*** off you silly b**** I was very upset only had the car for less than a month and that very day I had just spent £200 on a supersprint exhaust and had it fitted that morning come the next day her insurance company called me up explaining she has admitted fault an that if anyone else was injured and that they will call me another time to sort the rest out, The next call from was them aranging me To go to peterbourgh to have it looked at by fiat :s I though Ay fiat WTF anyway they quoted it £2500 to fix so I asked will they write it off he said they don't like to so they might fix it something was telling Me he was lying a little bit and he was I got a call like a week later saying were wrighting your car off and offering you £1000 and chance to buy the car back for £10 I just coughed and hung up anyway I managed to haggle £1550 out of them and bought the car back for £75 (bargain) then I solfataras the car to my mum for £600 and then she got it fixed for £600 and eve since it has been locked away my mum don't even have a licence and she never will so I told her I'm using the saxo and paying for it all to be tested and motd hopefully all done by next weekend Im having to use my dads 7.5 ton removals lorry to get it there but that's all I could think of, I'm planning on buying a new manifold from kamracing possibly this weekend and get it fitted then get it all tested and motd and insured witch my cheapest quote has been £1800 so if anyone has any ideas for what company is best please tell me, I'm thinking of painting the wheels black and the centre yellow but it might be too much I fancy getting a carbon fibre bad boy bonnet then tinting the back window and possibly a roof wrap stripping the back out and get a couple of bucket seats, That's all I've got planned for it so far but if anyone else has any ideas I'm all ears here's a couple more photos I've taken them on my phone and the sun didn't help it much | |

| Kieran, finally got the yellow beast back on the road You getting adam to fit the manifold again? You'll get pop and bangs like my VTS used to do If your wanting tinted back windows, i've got 2 rear quarters which i have on the car still, might be interested in a swap? | |

Good luck if the axle has any play in it then he won't be fixing that But it should pass easily, check wheel bearings, axle etc | |
