Pleased for you after all the hassle with the brakes etc.

Lara looks good as well.

Good Dreadnought and George, plus the other good suppliers have been there for you.

Cant wait for the vid of her being out on track, with the sound on full.

yeah it's advance quite a bit in 3 years

Lara is actually having major surgery just now, the rear cross member decided it didn't really want to be part of the rest of the chassis any more

We had a P reg 110 closed back.

Door was full of holes, being ally could never understand it.

Had a trailer, pulling a ride on mower and a car decided he would give it a shove. Ifor Williams trailers are well built, no damage.

It pushed the tow bar and that wrote off the rear chassis, thought the insurance co. would write the thing off. Because they are prone to rear ends rusting away you can buy a replacement rear chassis. Cut and shut and good as new.

So much for being an off roader, first sight of mud and they rust away.

Hope Lara is sorted soon.

the doors rot because the frame is steel but the skin is aluminium... the two react and you get holes in weird places lol

the rear cross member is being cut out and replaced with an off the shelf version as we speak! It's not too bad for it's age but the previous owner didn't clean it very well. It's when you get mud stuck in these places that causes issues because they are constantly damp

Just a shame they didnt use a galvanised chassis, wouldnt have cost too much.
