fitted a full bull bar, wired up 2 spots and 2 fogs, attached a 10mtr rope, wrapped around the bars, fitted rear light guards, ss spare wheel cover, fitted roof bars all from a scrapper.
just a note if you get bars from a early swb they dont fit without drilling on to a later a series
i even gave it a wash, i managed to hold back on the polish.

Done absolutely nothing with the car lately.

Gotta do a front wheel bearing, fit a new CV gaitor, possibly replace the catalytic converter, replace 2 UJ's, bend and lengthen the gear levers properly, fix the drivers window that has popped out of the runners, fit the central locking kit and get the headlight aim sorted...

Only a few of them need to be done for the MOT in March though.
I also drink Port and I'm not ashamed to say it!

I had B series plastic light protectors on my A series for a couple of years now, they where a close enough fit, bit scratched but where free, till we went to Bala that is and I lost one.

Last week I won a pair of A series nearly new plastic light protectors for £6 plus £4 p+p :D and wow they fit like a glove 8) no way they will fall out :lol:

So if you find my other plastic light protector at Bala you can have the other one free 8) :lol:

I gave the car a jet wash this morning and found this wedged between the gearbox and body resting on the prop :shock: :shock:
