I should have bought it when I had the opportunity but I couldn't let Mule 1 go at the time. Would have saved me around £8-10k in the long run #-o

It was a superb car. All round balanced as well as damn fast!

I must admit it did suit the GTC's.. Someone should have bought it because it wasn't even priced high considering.

But ahwell I guess.

Ill bet it would have saved you Phil.. But then again you made yours your own :) lots of time and effort and money that nobody else can appreciate to the same extent you did. That's worth the extra cash..

The reason it is reminding you guys of robs old car is that all the body kit was purchased from rob when he parted out his car.

Robs car lives on with parts on my 2, George's and phil's old mule to name a few.

He's got some nicely sorted out bits, and is a great fabricator if you need something special making up- only issue is that he's in the states :thumleft: :thumleft:

Was considering one his rails and some ID injectors myself :-$

Nah honestly mate that's a great call passing on the info really appreciate it.

The states is the only place to go really.. They have everything in bulk and its a much tighter market so the build quality needs to be top knotch.

Not really gave an update on the goings on with the car regarding the build as its a bit up in the air at the moment due to schedules etc...

However, my registration plates finally arrived :)

My dad was kind enough to send me these photos as im working away just now...
I did however mess with them for my instagram page as you can tell.

Cheers Greeny... Yeah definitely will. Ill be in Grimsby/Cleethorpes from beginning of November until the 20th of December with college again. Unfortunately I won't have the car with me though, it will most likely be with Simon.


Just a quick status update on the car:

Hopefully got a buyer for the full Turbo kit.. Which will make another IMOC member have a very big grin when hooning about town. :)
Just awaiting an estimate on time regarding modifying pipework to take the kit.

This will hopefully be happening at very end of this month or October time. At which point ill make a final decision on the new kit/plan of action for mine
