I mean modifying the front subframe with an angle grinder and not even having the decency to dress off the raggy edges, lovely NOT.

Owning a V8 ZT was one of the swiftest transitions of car ownership I've ever experienced, nearly as swift as a diesel automatic.

No raggy edges on mine but I used to have a Marina that did,I am sure after a good nights sleep it will all seem better,but then again maybe not!

Probably, four hours sleep knowing I had a V8 in Monogram "Tarmacadam" to rectify wasn't the best start to today.

Here is the message I received from it's "delighted" owner

Disappointing parcel of dog poo"

As one mechanic to another think of the money not the pain.

Aye, I got paid in the form of the return of my Flaremaster borrowed 7 weeks ago for a couple of brake pipes on said car.

Still waiting on the roll of Kunifer though

Mates rates, Bah

Kit car or Q-car?

It does have its charm..........................

OK, ECU to Gateway could be better, but you can still access the ECU directly
BDU is still a standard unit so T4 should cope
ABS is Bosch 5.7 and can be accessed directly as well.

Don't blame the car but blame the lack of tools
