Still to do myself:

Mud-Club splats :slight_smile:
Stereo head unit
Fire extinguisher

So in true “Forth Bridge” style he isn’t finished, but I can at least drive him. A looooooong wait for the welding but having seen the quality of this guy’s work well worth it.

Will post link to piccies in my Mud-Club profile as soon as I have them.

Looking forward to seeing the finished article, preferably with a good coating of mud!

Your going to need that engine just to keep the lights on :smiley:

Sounds good, especially a fan of the bullbar on the front, can’t be doing
with all this new “Padestrian Impact freindly stuff” :cool:

MOT passed , but too late today for pickup.
Photos over the weekend.

5

How many laps of the front field so far then ?

6

Several :slight_smile: Aided and abetted by the Shropshire Monsoon, which although it stops me taking any decent pictures has contributed to mud on the roof :smiley:

7

Well if you get it stuck I’ll find something to tow you out with, I owe you a vehicle recovery.

:wink:

And it wont be a Daihatsu either!

8

You got space in your back field martin ?

Is that the best you can do to equal the powah of an unleashed Disco? :wink:

Nice motor you have there.

Ideal for popping down to Zebrabar and having a couple of Flags.

13

Don’t tempt me, although I’ll be damned if I’ll leave him in the Gambia :eek: :stuck_out_tongue: :flip:

14

Seems to cope with the mud quite well.
You need to upgrade the mud, the slimy front field just isnt a challenge for Elmo

15

hehehehhe bring the Die-Hat-Sue and we’ll see who is the daddy :wink: Free tows for Jap-Crap!

Your making the rash assumption it would even get to shropshire.

Dont worry, I’ll have an upgrade for the Daihatsu this week.
:devil:
