Trying to think which forum member this would suit. Despite not knowing what she actually looks like, in my mind's eye I can see MarvinsMom sat in this, effing and jeffing as the mysterious 'Kerry' pushes her down a potholed back lane on an industrial estate through some mucky oily puddles down to the unit where their Mini is stored

"MoT and tax exempt". I'm sure that somewhere in those regs there's something about "substantial modifications" meaning you're seriously fooked.

You can also touch his organ if you like...

Also on offer is the Jeeves and Wooster 1955 Bentley Pink Panther get away with it scot free kit...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284064500998

But for all the tech blagney the TU engine is not all aluminium just the head and in a frontal accident that sub-frame will end up in the cab. Interesting though - home counties Mad Max - I like the 'deconstructed' dashboard, like one of those cakes on Bake Off, interesting but best left alone.

Comes with the optional in-car entertainment - a large brass ear trumpet...

And optional heating - a thick plaid rug.

I doubt his creation is notably better or worse for crashworthiness than the original mind you!!!

I would love to see that rebel with the body off though. How do you join a Metro subframe to a car with a placca shell and separate 'girder' chassis like this?

I bet its a right horror show!!!!

If you get pulled...possibly........if it's been well done, it may be almost worth seeing if you could declare the mods with DVLA, cross your fingers and hope.........

Another '£500 personalised numberplate' that just happens to be the same year as the car itself

Every clause in this advert makes me not want to engage with the seller.

GRS Tora 1980's kitcar for just £250!!!!

Never actually been on the road so you might have some fun with the DVLA if you ever get it 'finished'. Made by Ginetta these things with Hillman Hunter mechanics, i bet its quite fun to chonk about in (for a few days)

"Quite Famous". Nasty crease but it might mostly pull out in the hands of an artist.

are the wings bolt on or welded I wonder?  Guessing maybe welded if he is getting shot rather than fix it up. Shame it's an auto as I could quite fancy that and not too far from me

Yes... Im working on one of these for a customer, it started off with a 50p sized hole on the front corner of the crossmember which holds an engine mount and lower wishbone mount. 3 weeks later I have finally finished cutting out old weld patches and doing it all up properly and I have now cut away a similar amount of patches on the rear corner of one sill...

Glad the hear you're doing it all properly now, sounds like a patchwork quilt.

That made  LOL!  Having met both parties I can vouch for the hilarity in the image.

'Tribute project car'
 
Have to be honest, I'd rather 'tribute' over a photograph of Jimmy Krankie in her piss stained apple catchers.
