Modding.

Modded my 2 cars today.



I put the hard top back on the MX-5. The 7 months it spent in my mum and dad's hallway haven't been kind to it, but it still looks shiny enough:

And then someone else modded my Polo with some chains and a HIAB:

was a bit gutted as I had great plans for that Polo. It was one day going to be a motorsport masterpiece and I was going to be a heroic racing driver.



Unfortunately I pussyfooted about and then I got ill so it's sat outside the house for about 2 years now. MOTless since February.



This morning, someone knocked on my door and asked me to give him it because he had a wife and 3 kids to feed. He eventually offered me £20 and proudly proclaimed "I don't even need the logbook" and I decided right then that I should do something about the dejected heap before he just came back and took the bits he wanted off it. I removed the nearly new battery and pumped about 10 litres of petrol out of it.



The breaker chap came and picked it up. He gave me some money. Yay.


I had a ring around about my old Golf. One place offered me £100 for the box and engine, or £100 for the entire car. And I'd have to get it there. Round here there's a bloke pays £60 a car just to weigh them in...

I heartily approve of your choice.

This is also my chosen supplier of previously loved car spares.
