I have to say, I was really impressed with Dal's speed and quality
Got the car back about a week later, with a fresh ticket . Stoopid rave clock was still playing up.....but I took it out for it first drive in over a year, and I was grinning from ear to ear like an orangutan on ecstacy!
Tucked safely back in the garage now, until Spring
Rust repairs are really good!
nice rust repairs! now do what i did and buy a dinitrol kit, and pump the car full of it!
A long overdue (mini) update! I have reached 150,000 miles and this year will be my 10th year of ownership!
So the plan for the car changed slightly over the last few years. A lot of work has been done, some to tackle existing issues such as replacing the sills, and some minor upgrades. Structurally the car is solid, but I would like it if it was aesthetically better. A few bobbles have appeared on the arches, but I have replacement wings and thoughts of putting it in for paint. Not sure yet.
Here are some photos of how the car sits now

yes, still got the 13, it is about to undergo a bit of a tidy up too, i can never part with the old girl.. 11 years for me
You haven't got the pics of the rust repairs still have you? I've got to do mine and photobucket has ruined play as usual
After 11 years of ownership, I sold the car yesterday evening. Feeling sad I guess today, but it was the right time.

Woah!!!!
After all that effort in fixing her up I didnt think you would do that.
Whats the replacement?
It was a hard decision. I almost told the buyer to leave as he was counting the money out, but it was definitely time. I'm just not using it as much as I should, and don't have the space to store it.
I don't think I have a replacement as such, but I picked up an R32 GTR a few years ago that I'm slowly developing to suit the way I drive.

Definitely enjoyed the car. I bought it in my early 20s, when I could just about afford the car and insurance, so as you can imagine I was quite attached to it.
I'll try and pop along to one of the meetings and I'll bring the R32. Not sure it's a replacement, but it's growing on me.
