Have managed to find somewhere that'll source them for reasonable money after an hour on the phone this morning, saunders motor works wanted £115, that's more expensive than Peugeot!

Was a good laugh chopping up your shell. My grinder is an absolute weapon.
Yeah was a proper good laugh mate, still surprised at just how little time it took considering the chronic mincing that was going on, really is a serious piece of kit with that diamond blade on.

Actually yes, i know it's just a rusty old silver 5dr, but i've got a hell of a lot of memories in that car. Reckon i gave her a proper send off with the eurotrip though, the various problems that developed over the course of that epic kind of felt like confirmation that now is the time to move on.

Was removed by the cleaning process at the engine shop, figured it was more than half gone already so wouldn't matter that much..?
