Passed my test in june 2011, bought a white totally origional mk3 coupe as a project. Crashed this 9 days after my test
   Then i had to go to college on the bus again so it was time to get saving.. Luckily my dad saved this breadvan from a garden so things fell into place pretty well. Was again totally origional with 43k on the clock. The two front wings were badly sun faded and glove box was snapped. Felt weird driving it after my low mk3 so i badly needed suspension. Got it lowered on ebay springs which said '80/90' but after the slammage it actually wasnt as low as i hoped. I wanted a bit of rake so the rear is on the top notch (out of 3). Got the wings sprayed, bought a glove box which i never got round to fitting and is still in my room   Heres a pic of it before it settled, More to come soon  |

Okay not really any progress recently (as moneys a bit tight with insurance anall) but got 4 more pics of the car. Snapped my splitter and lost 1 mud flap
so now they are all off as they were a pain in the arse to be fair haha. I really need to lower the front more somehow but i wana avoid cutting the springs if possible. Any ideas?     |

Well i had the lowest profile Michelin tires before and they wore down soo quickly, i only got 2500 miles out of them, i was told they have been dodgy copies or something so i went for these Bridgestone supersports. Car drives so much better and they were free
Thanks for the comment tho |

Ouch
How did that happen? Guessing that's not exactly economical to repair? |
