My second car, annoyingly i never got a photo of it. It was great fun, died after hitting a big metal ladder on the m25 at 90mph. The petrol tank never recovered, couldnt find one at the breakers and it was before the internet so after leaking petrol on the drive for six months my parents got it towed away. " its ok son, we wont charge you for the tow truck":wtf:

Tell you what though mate cars of that era are fetching silly money now, when you look back at what you wrote off or scrapped be worth a fortune now.

It was a hatchback too, there were loads of saloons about but they had a different petrol tank

Great, thank you very much. Are you happy with them? How do they fit? Adhesive tape or otherwise?

I'm very pleased with them they work well, they are stuck on with 3m tape easy to fit and no drilling of holes.

Fitted my new bumper today, along with a new winch, not wired the winch up yet as I'm fitting an allbright under the bonnet out of the way, also fitted antitheft caps to the mounting bolts.
Just got to decide on lights now, not keen on light bars, I think a pair of 9" hid pencil beams is on the cards.

Very neat, it's just a pity they have to be mounted so low. I made the mistake of installing 2 ciggy sockets there, and all that happens is rear passengers (especially kids) tread on the USB plugs :icon-rolleyes:

If they could be mounted higher up, they'd be out of the way of feet, but there's no room behind the pocket box thingy to get anything in higher up.

Anyway, I'm going to swap them for a couple of USB twin sockets, Ana can charge her phones and the 2 iPads, bloody hell, I never manage to get my hands on my iPad until she's gone to bed! :crazy:

Bit of an update. Got the window rubbers fitted so now the windows wind up and down:icon-biggrin:. Have rebuilt one of my old winches and fitted it. Removed the full exhaust system and made a 3" straight through, although this will be getting some more work as it is currently too loud:icon-twisted:

I have also sprayed and refitted the wheel arches in readiness for bigger tyres
