project red mist - chops - 20-04-2021
right as some of you might of met me at modified nationals i was planning some crazy ideas. but travelled on the monday to scotland to look at a polo saloon to make rwd..... yes it was F**ked.. so i didnt let myself buy it even after the long drive.. so i got back home later that day was asking a friend if he new of anything local in buget that wouldnt be bad to start as a base.
so i found a ek civic d14 ok its not a vtec but meh not fussy at the moment it is something that has no tax and mot so first things first are to get it ready for that. here is a few snaps after i got it home.
