Wow Im quite amazed with this little French car how many cool things it has . Like the adjustable headlights . Oh and how the bonnet stays up with out getting the hook thing out . Those rear rods that adjust like that sound like another cool intervention.
But was a bit confused when I broke the clutch cable had saw it had a  plastic end. So I got sterlings in otahuhu to put a metal end on it instead. What a bitch of a job with no stuff all tools to get it on. Mums boyfriend had to take the petal off to get it on in the end. Works well now shouldn't break that bugger . 
I so can wait for that strut to come up it would be really appreciated  Thank you, can I sent you a local booze voucher for saying thanks  . Can meet them out at famp.   

Where can you get those guards done like that ? Looks Rad . Is it expensive to do ?

choice
baseball bat actually works sweet. get enough weight in back so it's almsot rubbing
whack baseball bat in
push car forward. baseball bat rolls along tyre/guard and pushes the lip up. perfect!

I work in parts and a GC customer in kapiti wanted some parts in the weekend, and I was passing through anyway. 8 brake drums and 4 sets of linings etc etc. so was probabyl closer to 500 odd kgs. was hard on the bumpstops at the rear and fairly slammed at the front, which, coupled with way too wide tyres, caused epic guard rub. baseball bat sorted that out.
was super slow on the haywards hill, though. hah

Man of many talents . I had a whole different thinking with the base ball bat . Your sounds so much more on to it.  I will run this past mum boyfriend he a engineer fitter welder . He has help me heaps with this car.   Also hassling me to get rid of it and buy something with cheaper parts etc . Im liking my first car.  Wow I bet the guard rub was wicked to say the least .
