So searching the net as u do, and i found my old silver ibiza on a salvage site. been smashed into a bollard. i immediatly went nuts and decided i had to have it back asit was the best car i ever owned and should of never gotten rid of it.

So i bought it back, a month before im 21, october always seems to make me by new cars :D

UPDATE::::

car is all repaired now, just needs a fit of finishing off and she will be going into paint this week some time!! BMW Stahl Grau!! (steel grey)

Hopefully will look tip top.

ive hi-builded the car 4 times now and attacked it with a foot long block so it should be pretty smooth :D

aerial socket has gone and the two vertical panel joints below the rear lights have gone, thats all, i just wanted to clean it up a smidgen, not sure what im doing with bumpers yet tho..
