Finished removing the sound deadening from the rear of the car and gave it a quick paint to try and tidy it up pain in the arse job to do suprised it was heavier than i thought it would be. I did leave alittle on the front of the inner arch as it was sticky and couldnt be arsed chucking petrol on it to soak off.

Well yet again i am at the place were i am unsure what to do with the car.
After sorting out the sound deadening i came across more rust almost asmuch as the last lot i had which cost me £400 and that was discounted.
At the moment i am thinking of breaking it and saving but then i have that problem of me not being able to save so was thinking of selling but i wouldnt get anywere near what i could get breaking it plus its got parts on i want for the next which brings me to the next bit LOL (keep up)
SIL80 i have a mate who could import me a good spec car cheap would be pretty much rust free and have the sr20 motor in it and poss a 2way as these are 2 things i want for this ar but cost good money sr20 and bits 2k 2way diff around £400 second hand.
What to do
