IIRC in general chat he said he had passed but hadn't driven for a month, so had a whip round his estate when he bought the car.

Will any more progress? you need to debadge the sides tbh, maybe the back aswell, smoked side reps, heatgun/bumperspray/colourcode your arches and exterior plastics, spray your grill black or get a badgeless slated one, new front n rear bumpers, sort out the door and sill rust and then maybe get limo tints on back 3 windows? will look sweet on your black car, then think about some nicer alloys or lower the car or something =)

Well recently I have been finding it hard to get into gears. It wont even go in reverse. I am going to adjust the clutch later, that should sort it. But I think it might be more money then its worth?

I feel like selling it and getting one it better nick.

What you think?

Thanks mate

Look at the clutch pedal, has it moved at all or out of line with the other pedals? If yes open the bonnet and look down towards the gearbox on the right. Where the clutch cable connets to the leaver. You will be able to adjust the cable here. Do it a little at a time till it goes into all gears perfectly.

turn it clock-wise 3-4 times then test, once you've done this your clutch cable after a month or so will do the same thing again so get yourself another nut from a scrapyard and put it directly behind the first nut, stops it moving completely

Btw, nice starting point! Keep up the progress.
