good on yer Shaun, she looks a treat, certainly much better than an upturned pram would!

Good to see it going again, I used to own it until around September 2005 when I sold it on ebay for £450 or £500 with a short mot, I was horrified to see what happened to it after selling it for such a good price! Another one broken up to power a Minor :evil:
Its not just Marinas though, perfectly good Metros get broken up to power minis, when the Metro is clearly the better car, makes no sense?
Obviously its not a problem when the donor car is a rusty wreck but far to many good cars go this way :cry:
