vr-koj 0 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Needless to say I'm well gutted as the rest of the car is fine. To expensive to repair so goin on ebay for spares / donor conversion jobbie. Dont have tools, skills or garage else would have stripped it and sold off parts . VERY expensive lesson. Will start another thread soon in For Sale section with details of recent upgraded goodies for anyone interested in the car or number plate..... Shockin, not even lasted one year as a club member too ;( ;( ;( Link to post Share on other sites
