***Tom Williams*** · 18-09-2007, 21:39

remember I think you will need to re-apply for your licence from the dvla before you drive again, but i think you can do this before the ban expires!!

Mark_F · 19-09-2007, 20:21

This, looks good.

**Gordon Livsey** · 19-09-2007, 20:31

another couple

**Gordon Livsey** · 19-09-2007, 22:29

only thing im gonna chamge is the front bumper to a gsi one, dont know about the tow bar either, its bolted into the back panel and boot floor, dont want to leave holes there that will eventually start to rust/rot, maybee just get the angle grinder and cut it away but leave the bolts in place, good safety feature though as the tow bar would take most of the hit

specks · 19-09-2007, 22:34

that looks sweet

**Benn** · 19-09-2007, 22:34

Very nice dude!
i like that...bumpers look cool too,
theres only two things i dont like...lol
the strickers...window and boot... and the badge in the grille...

You can unbolt the tow bars and seal it up tight,will help them...

Whats the scotlock by the coil? rip that out..lol

Is that the oil pressure on the side of the head?
