well i drove it

drove real nice too

all was good

till i reversed at speed into the garage (not crashed into the garage)

caught the exhaust on hump as i backed in

broke the engine mounts pushed the engine through the radiator
so still no lowered pic as the car is trapped in the garage

yeah kinda sucks but i'm not that pissed about it surprisingly

lisa was sh!tting herself walking around on egg shells waiting for me to explode

but i said i'm not that worried

engine mounts are fixed just gotta get a radiator which is the biggest issue when you live in the middle of nowhere

thanks for the offer, it would have been pretty much a bolt in i believe, unfortunately you are a little to late after a couple of days scouring the net i couldn't find one so bit the bullet and bought one of the ebay alluminium jobbies atleast i should be fairly confident in not having any overheating issues
