Anyone know for sure if this MOT exemption stand alone from tax exemption? My van is tax exempt due to being a historic vehicle tax classification. However I'm fairly sure it will need an MOT due to modifications this doesn't really bother me as MOT TIME is kind of a pre season ritual now for...

Sold, thanks.

Set of 5x112 steel wheels for sale. Off my crossover but should suit all small 5 bays. They are a staggered set of 15" steels 7" et25 rears which fill the rear arches perfectly and have a good dish. The fronts are 6.5" et49 which gives a nice bit of tuck. I've fitted clips to the wheels to...

MX-5 here too (Mk1). I also love it! Doubles as a daily and track day toy.

Cheers, my 40s were an extravagance at £130 but were required as the original carb wouldn't fit under the bed. Wheeled and dealed a bit with buying a whole van for the engine and selling what's left and got lucky on ebay a lot for the rest of the bits. To do it cheaply I wouldn't particularly...

I can't speak for the Scooby lump but I've gone watercooled. Probably even worse though a) it's not even boxer & b) it's Ford. However I don't regret it one bit.

They do turn up in the usual places second hand from time to time. Mine needed quite a bit of resto but if your handy its pretty easy to do without having to buy all new. Think i bought the roof vent plastics, seals and main hinges and salvaged the rest. Certainly saved a good bit compared to...

32 got my bus at 23 (few months after I met the missus) but it was a shed and I actually didn't drive it till I was 30 :shock:

No probs, glad they've gone to good use. Enjoy your trip :D

Grills and heater sold. Open to offers on sink and wheels. Need the space (well the folks do as its all at their gaff :P )

Crikey Mart, nothing) like cutting it fine! Good luck on getting to freeze (might Even head over myself concreting footings permitting). Make sure they don't rush it just for the sake of making it to one show though.

I use engweld bout 50 quid a year bottle rental (mini mig) and 25ish per fill.

Marcher - PM'd Gvee- thanks I'll keep you posted if sale falls through Stevebay - I think what I have is in the pics but I'll have another look at the unit. Shame if its not complete, I was told it was :(

marcher - cool I'll be in touch tomorrow gvee - sorry trims provisionally sold you'll be first in line if it falls through. Knew I'd forget something of the ad, open to offers on wheels, I've got my steels on now and they're taking up room. Thinking £120ish.
