soooo.... as no-one wants to buy the rat-line... I'm gonna keep it and start fixing it up... just need to finish my car :P haha

anyway...

Things I need to do to get it running and road legal again are the following:

Pay Licence - 6months in arears o.O - R1k for that...
Get new Right hand tail light - R500
Fit 2 new seats - R600?
Fit some kind of carpeting - free :P
Get stock springs (or coilovers) RB are those coilovers of shane still at your place? - R???
Redo Exhaust - R500
new windscreen - R? this might be farkin expensive...
Check all electrical systems, lights indicators ect. R300
erm... ja thats close to getting it roadworthy.


Respray and rust removal after that.
