Looks nice enough, but who fits a towbar to a cabby? :?

 

Having said that I did consider it for a moment to pull a trailer tent, just looks wrong though I think. will it be staying on?

Thank you

 

Yeah I did think that was a little odd, I don't have any need for it so yes will be removing at some point.

Thanks Ian71 this is great to hear! And certainly will need help/advice.

 

Thanks rsvanman doesn't look so great up close, lots of mould and rusty bits although did have a friend who knows more than me look over it and the shell is ok no big rust areas as such.

Update; had a local garage look round the car and the chap put it up on the ramp and was pleasantly surprised that the car is all good with no rusting underneath etc and could see nothing wrong with it. Chuffed. I now need to invest in a trolley jack and axle stands. Was looking at the 2 tonne packages. Would these be suitable and does anyone have any recommendations? Also had no paperwork with the car so where is best to place the stands?

 

Thanks

Chris

Also one last question promise :-), just bought a car cover from Halfords for it and says for soft tops must use a protective cover underneath, any suggestions of what a suitable protective cover to put under the car cover is?

I use to break them for parts myself so never really need anything, but if I did I just find eBay the best place, some bits can be pricey though.

Thanks buddy
