Lads i havent been fully active in yonks but here full time now Smiley
Il be honest i had an absolutely mint carlton but at the age of 20 i hadnt the sense to mind it so i drifted it diffed it and always drove it as hard as it would go.. Sad

Iv finally got the time, use of a garage and people behind me to do a full rebuild Smiley Im taking everyting off and making sure its 100% nothing left unchecked

Love the car and when its done its staying in a shed except for may june and july of every year.. Smiley
Im never abusing it again ;( It killed me that i didnt mind it more but i guess it could be worse at least im doin the right thing now Smiley

Theres not much wrong with it its just little things that make the difference
