The STT is finally getting sorted

[AndySTT]

Just a quickie to say that the STT is going to rise from the ashes (or should that be rust heap) and live again, mainly thanks to a tidy bonus and happening across a tidy white shell, a freshly built LET and convo with Spankee about drive space and labour costs

The new shell has been sitting around for some time and therefore needs a proper mop over once the mechanical stuff is sorted. The new engine comes with a hybrid turbo and I have a set of 308s to go on too.

Mostly thanks to Spankee it should be sorted out for PV. I'll get some pics up later.

Head and headgasket, new head and gasket, went again + both arches and both doors were on the way out so she got laid up. I've had a bunch of pap since while the STT became a Gnome on the girlfriends front lawn

II trailered the original STT from Mad_Donna's (Chesterfield, Derbyshire) to it's final resting place at Spankee's (Braintree, Essex) today.

Here are the last pictures of the original car, she gets broken this week and all the best bits will be going on the new shell plus some nice new additions too.
