I've just won a 410 tbox on ebay. The guy im buying it from has 2 more. Just wondering what your location is. Are you willing to collect or dhl.

He's not far from M1 J25.

Don't know if that would be any use to you????

Its looks sweet mate. Mine is away getting its stack exhaust fitted. Just going for a straight silencer on it. But lovin that cherry bomb, there so old skool tho.

Never seen a gazebo used as god intended it. Bbq's and garden partys. No, gotta me zuk dry!

Hope its quiet enough for MOT.

Yeah i could'nt resist the cherry bomb, iv still got the front silencer on so hopefully shouldn't be to loud.

Unfortunately the gazebo (or "project bodge HQ" as i like to call it) got blown away the other day and i had to pull it out the hedge and pack it away. Hopefully shouldn't need it now the summer is here. :lol:

Summer? The way the weather is up north think we've hit an early autumn.

when u have it "finished" i say that cos the project never ends. You'll have to take sum video and stick it on youtube. Presume it sounds good.

How hard was it to get the body off? Im thinking about pulling mine off and shot blasting chassis to give it a fresh paint and underseal.
