There are plenty of scrappers about, but just check them for rust.

Wood you believe it.

Well. The car is primed and set for its first short haul tomorrow - off to Toulouse in France and back. Should be long enough to see how she goes six up with clobber

I forgot to say that mine is a 1997 model GLS 2.4 Maverick and by trawling the threads it seems that these pre 2000 cars are a bit better built than later models (notably paint-wise it seems). Mine has no rust whatsoever...

....Just that bit of wood holding the window up mentioned earlier in the thread

Could not get the bits in time so my first job on my return in a weeks time.

Let's hope for some snow

I'm down your way in the morning delivering water in a tanker to Cranleigh, my mate has a 97 swb and it's full of rot, a lot depends on how the vehicle has been looked after and if it grew up by the coast

Well, back from the little road trip. Truck went well. Only rear exhaust box started to blow about 300 miles from home. I managed between 17 and 27 mpg loaded up with seven folk and gear. Very comfortable cruiser. Quiet and very easy to drive. Impressed for the money. No off road yet but thinking of treating it to a Matt black vinyl wrap and some deep dish 16" steelies...

Thanks gents. I have paid for membership via Paypal about a week ago and sent a PM to 'Banshee' about it as he advised me earlier in the thread. Who should I notify about this please? Many thanks. Dave

Fleabay was my friend

Brand new unit for £38 delivered and fitted this afternoon. All good. Just wired it up back to front so you press down and it goes up and vice versa

I won't tell the wife....should confuse her for 5 minutes

Anyone want a nice bit of pine?
