I wonder if they are still in need of tools, is anybody a member on there to ask? Not sure. I'm not personally a member of that forum; I only found the link after searching for the numberplate. The lack of updates suggests the owner is either still sans tools or has lost heart after the scumbags have invaded his space. A real shame. mk1_4dr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just joined up to reply to the thread but suddenly felt weird about it. The owner appears to be a mod on the Landcrab forum and a quick search sees they have at least 3 Crabs in mid-resto, though progress on all but an Austin looks to have stopped.

Still don't think there's any harm in sending him a pm on there explaining your intentions. Worst thing he can do is tell you to do one. mk1_4dr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that, it was dodgy as flip. Wasn't it folded in half and on top of itself? Also nice to see you back on here Dave. mk1_4dr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mk1_4dr Posted January 14, 2022 Author Share Posted January 14, 2022 I took these back last June on the drive of a dedicated shiter/Citroen owner. About 10mins before, I'd stopped the XM Estate from burning to the ground when the blower motor stuck and started fry the loom behind the dash rather than blow the fuse. The guy also has a W124 in the garage for when he actually needs to get somewhere. morrisoxide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
