Lucky bastard Gazza :drooling: I would love a hoist but not sure if I can justify the cost against the amount of use.

Might have to talk to the minister of finance :laughinggg:

Bit of spare time so getting stuck into the wagon, lots of rubbing and high build. Then into the engine bay.
Im looking for a new front clip as this one has some damage on the drivers side inner guard.

Just looked at my first post, 2010 :oops: :oops: :oops: that was a long time a go. Time to Finnish I think.

Gazz
I still have the rusty sub chassis that you gave me and I only used a couple of bits the drivers side inner guard is pretty good except where it bolts to the body if you remember.
I can bring it back to you if you like.
