while the car is Jacqui's it will remain standard, its only when i get it that all the work will be done ha ha. my current coupe will have the turbo taken off and the seats put back in, and just keep it for an everyday car.
well she never got a chance to object, she came home from work to find me and some mates pulling the box out from under the car ha ha ha.
as for having 4 seasons it can be good but also bad. when the leaves come off the trees and it rains the roads get really slippy, its even worse when theres ice or snow on the road. as for summer, well i'm not good in hot weather ha ha, i'd rather it was about 15-20 degrees but at the min its hitting near 30, far too hot for me.

i hoping that your celica to be something like this.. that was the plan but thats why i got rid of it, would have cost me money in that way too. a run around is a car that you dont care about, it gets a wash when it needs it and a service when it needs it and nothing else. if i'd kept it i would have bought the gt4 running gear and transmition for it and had it painted etc and basically spend too much money on it.

its sold keeping the headlights and registration and a few other bits, well basically he is getting pretty much a standard car with a turbo. he can't afford to buy outright so he is paying it off monthly and will get the keys when i have all the money. it's gonna take him about 6 - 7 months to pay it off but that means i have another 6 - 7 months of driving her before she goes. really looking forward to getting the new coupe tomorrow. i'll get pics of it up as soon as we get it home.
