Russ,
I am now the proud owner of that hard top you saw on Ebay ...the cost just a tad over £1400
There is another one for sale currently around the £500 but expect that to rise sharply ...
Cheers
Pete |

i'll look forward to seeing that soon then, being winter and all
god its gonna look good isn't it
i see another cab round are parts, dark blue 2.3 with 5 spoke alloys (spokes are really thin, look like a cheap make, BK's or similar) over portsea way during the day!
and a pearl bluey/greeny one with kit and wheels?? around the university!
niether are anywhere near as good as yours |

if i can't find it online then i havea printed a pic and i'll scan it tomorrow or something ..... it looks great but the front bumper is a tad mad lol |

Yep , it's a new front design.
Apparently with the old desigh you have to cut the bottom off your existing bumber and glue the new bit on

yeah ... that's the one i remember.
i've not been able to find that picture of the one i like .... but i'm doubtful that you'd like it too .... i was thinking about getting it and slightly modding the front bumper as it was a little too over the top (waaay too many air vents) |

keep mine garaged at night and just in the process of refurbing some old coupe/cab alloys for when it gets really bad as chrome and salt don't go.... |

mine have been on since feb this year and can honestly say i have no dents/flakeing or scratches apart from hair line ones i may have caused when cleaning as they do get cleaned often, not cuz they need doing i just like cleaning them. i can also say i have no kerbing marks whatsoever...... |

Errr i have to put my hand up to this one, my cab doesn't come out if the 'big lorry yellow lorry' has been out, i live in Walsall West Mids and Walsall council are renowned for their tight arse attitude when it comes to spending money on what the ratepayers want, but, when it comes to chucking the salt down 'oh boy' it's thicker than at Bonneville. We had a huge increase in council tax this year so i guess ! they're gonna be more liberal with their gritting !! My heart sinks when i see the flashing ambers cos i know that's it for 3 - 4 months
Fortunately i bought a Range Rover 2 months ago and according to the long range weather forecast it's gonna come in real handy this winter.
Sorry for you guys running your rides through the crap, been there, and i know it's a bummer but don't be tempted by the 'carwash' you'll have more shine on your sidewalls than on the paintwork.
