i think i have seen yours about, possibly the other week pulling out into whitecross road, i may have even given you a wave but i was either in a white van or a black vectra.

do you go to any of the local meets?

mine is no mot at the moment so in two minds weather to start the transfer to a hard top now or re mot/tax (insure end of aug) and use it till the winter.

think im probably going to start the build now to be honest, shame i know but will be cheaper in the long run.

That wasnt me, mine hasnt been on the road since sep. There is another one that ive seen on whitecross road a couple of times with no front bumper, someone must live around there.

I dont go to any local meets, i might do one day but not at the moment

it will pass but if im starting to re build it towards the end of the year i cant see much point in paying for the mot the tax and the insurance just for a few possible months of use, might as well save the cash and put it towards the new car
