Hi everyone, Been a long time since i posted on here, been having a bad time recently.

Not long ago i posted on here with pictures of my baby,
Image

I started off with a 1.4 8v si which was gorgeous, i was the second owner from new, old lady lol.
Image
I had here for 7 months, spent over £1000 on her, she had a respray on the whole left hand side, full exhaust system. ect, unfortunatly i had a run in with a tractor, he was swinging his hedge trimmer around on a main road, twat, and i had to go into the hedge, unfortuntaly there was a stone wall behind it, she was a complete write off saddest day of my life,

Then came the worst car of my life, i wanted to go for something newer. so i bought a 106 quicksilver. 48000 miles, thought it would be good, clutch and gearbox went, so then i went back to what i love, si's. i bought this beauty

Image

1.6 16v superchipped, best handling car i ever been in, lowed on avo coilovers, i loved this car, she was comming up for her mot and i wanted to have a full respray for her, unfortunatly 5 months after i bought it, she failed the mot 24 faults, i couldnt believe it, so i decieded not to scrap her as she is my pride and joy, she is sitting in my girldfriends barn, very sad sight. But over the next 12 months me and my mechanic are going to rebuild her shell, engine is now out, loads of rust in places around engine, she has been completly stripped now and we are slowly rebuilding her shell. bit by bit, i want to get her completly mint for next years ford in the park, as i love this car so much.

I decided that i wanted another si, but not sure what i wanted i wanted a 2.0, so i went out and bought one, only just got it,
Sorry aint good at editing
Image
needs work to the arches, as not been painted very well, looks like a cowboy did them, not primer used on them or lacre, i jet washed them and all the paint came off, only keeping her till i restore my 1.6

i want to know if anyone knows some1 who can do alloy wheel restoration in the devon area, and my new 2.0 has a 1.6 ecu in it, will the chip from my 1.6 fit in it.

I know tom ( last owner of my 1.6 will be sad about her failing the mot) but tom i promis she will be fully restored.

cheers comments welcome about my cars.

Always gone back to my si's best cars, you can never get in one and not have it put a smile on your face,

sorry if its in the wrong section,. cheers

Sorry to hear about the epic MOT failure mate, but at least she's not been scrapped. Sat in a barn is alot better than sat in a scrappie! Like the new car you've got 8-)

Good luck getting the other one sorted :thumbsup:

My si was off the road for two years while I stripped her down and totally rebuilt her mate, so I know exactly how you feel. I used to go into the garage and see her sat there and it was so upsetting not being able to drive her, but it was very much worth it and you just get twice the pleasure next time your behind the wheel 8-)
