Neighbours aren't too happy,, never mind !!!!!

Murph,

Sorry matey... wasn't payin attention to the hulks I was scavanging from... all I can tell you is it has a GM logo moulded into it.

Al I can suggest is get down the scrappers amd have a mooch about. The self service kind are best rather than the breakers.

Good luck

Had a bit of a result today, my mate came round to see me and the project so far and he has just given me his old Disco, H plate 3.5 efi, failed MOT on sills and he can't bo bothered to do it  :lol:

Only small catch, I have got to get his 110 on the road for him, he will pay for the parts etc I will provide the labour...

At least I have a donor vehicle for parts for the bob tail  :lol:  :lol:
