Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

I need to get a small section of my sills (no more than 5x5cm) sanded back and resprayed due to a tiny bit of surface rust that's making me fret a bit. as far as i can tell nothing needs cutting out or rewelding, but i'm not brave enough to do it myself. can anyone recommend somewhere (pref east london) that would be able to do it?

dude! well under my budget you say. you might well have.

will pm

i am now looking at getting my licence sorted and buying the gear. FUCK ME. ££££

Suit
Balaclava
Top
Long Johns
Socks
Boots

have a guess at the final price (I have gone budget options...)

i have a helmet, but need a HANS device - another £300

I reckon you'd get no change from 1k including HANS

nope bang on a g with the hans

i want one of those apache helicopter pilot carbon fibre helmets. they are the tits.

instead, i'll stick to my povvo 200 quid job

Lovely car, shame you have to sell. What’s the road tax on it?

so the g/f passed her test today. and I will stick her on the insurance for the little Fiat.

she wants to put P plates on it for when she is behind the wheel. if anyone has some magnetic ones gathering dust then would be good to borrow them. please holler

most photographed car in N5?

Demon Tweeks have a Stand21 Hans device at 234 inc VAT.

It's quite expensive. 480 a year I think.

TBH I justified the tax because the car itself was quite cheap.

You should get some really good discounts at autosport if you can make it?

@Howard the perfect practical scoob that’s just rowdy enough to be a fun family car!

Yeah I’d imagine you’re right, I don’t need another money pit. I already have a 350+ BHP turbo car that needs work doing.

Had it been a mk2 escort or ae86 I’d probably have done it.

I drove from the beach to work the other day. Google maps said 55 minutes. 30 minutes later I arrived at work. What a drive.

This car deserves to be driven properly.

Fuck I wish I could

Yeah thought so. Well it is what it is. After the demise of my N/A foz, I’ve must admit I have been tempted by a 2.5xt. Can you ping a few better pics up? Inc interior? Ta x

Dropped the car off at Precision this morning to cheque-book the rest of the stereo as I'm in the US for the next few weeks, and they can do bits as and when they have the time during that period.

Saw this outside, which I really liked:

Yes absolutely, just got to give it a clean and take some pictures. I'll get back to you as soon as I have.

Is it slushbox or funstick?

Please! Do you see me as an auto man?? It's a manual.

Haha. Hoped so, but most of them were autos.

Looks suitably moneypitesque :)
Very nice in all seriousness.
