Yes and No, she is currently sitting awaiting new bushes and maybe a new engine, the problem is finding the time to get it done :-(

I've seen some not bad ones for 1,500 or so, however I'm trying to steer him into getting something more conventional as he's not mechanical and doesn't want to do mudplugging days at dedicated tracks, so a bobtail is too much for him really.

Yep, I'll watch it this time, I stopped watching scrapheap ages ago, didn't know you lot were on it!

He's not the world's most sensible chap ;-)

Jeez, the bushes were on the way out when I had it. But the engine was a blinder. You must have been very cruel to it.,..

The bushes were shot, the engine knackered, the gearbox was on the way out, the brakes didn't work, the seats were mouldy, the exhausts were rusted through, the radiator was blocked, the fiddles didn't work, the paint work was very faded and the roll cage was rusting, I still wonder why we brought her :-)))

so Geoff was, like...

Yeah but yeah but yeah but Apart from that she was a fine vehicle...

I think the wheel nusts were okay :=)

I forgot to mention last time I driver her down a stupidly steephill the steering wheel broke.....................

Sounds like a problem with the weight distribution!

That didn't help ! I should have had the harnesses tighter, ged knows what the steering wheel came off but it was almost rusted through.

Was that a steering wheel? :-)

Off a Triumph Dolomite, I reckon, and mostly rust way back then.
