    It's a 1973 1300, it's actually pretty solid doesn't need a huge amount of welding, just a huge amount of enthusiasm!

    Marge comes out in April :D. I have a rather scary image of @Emitrude battering her across the TE field a few years ago. Mrs M's face as I told her that Em's was also known as theEngineSlayer was a picture...

    Despite that memory Mrs M is already quite giddy. Hats off Dunc, you've an interesting journey ahead:thumbsup:

  16. That doesn't look half bad. :thumbsup:

    Flakey, you don't happen to live in or near Bollington do you? Just got a call from Fran's Auntie who said she saw a beige pickup towing a beetle. Think it could be too much of a coincidence if it wasn't you. ;)
     
  17. You can buy this though which could come in useful. ;)
