Sorry to hear this Steve, but the police are now IMHO out of control and out of touch. We have caught a thief at work, all the evidence is there after two weeks still no sign of them. Car drove through the side of one branch in Luton, it was a black VW caught on camera, no action taken "why worry you are insured". If the police cheif constable was paid on conviction rates they would do something, but as it is they just spout the usual rubbish and do nothing. I know we have some officers on here, this is not aimed at them, it is the leadership who are at fault. The net result is people will take the law into their own hands and vigilanty justice is not correct, see the details of an innocent man burned to death in Bristol for that. We need to get back to having a police force whose hands are not tied by PC wishy washy types and supported by stiff sentancing.

Sorry for delay in pics but here it is! So I started looking for a car circa £5K after selling my Vw campervan and then I started to find the cars I liked were a bit more than that - i.e this was advertised for £7600!! After travelling about a bit trying cars and looking constantly and having a chat with Steve the Surrey AO I popped in to literally to have a look at this as it was local to my work - I had no intention of buying it - I thought it was out of my budget and over priced! I negotiated a great price for an 06 car (she has a poppy carb problem) and now this is MY 2005 chassis/2006 registered 2.0ltr Pinto engined SDV Westy.... She has minor problems (it's called Elly being but one..) due I think to having a good build but 2 owners who have done nowt all to it except drive it. The worst was the seats being bolted down due to being snapped frames (see separate thread) which will be sorted soon with the arrival of JK seats and the clutch cable is just hanging in there and an awful gearbox linkage which I'm hoping my new Westfield quickshift, 9 washers and a thread lock will cure and the exhaust just hanging there - see bottom pic!!

I wouldn't say leaving a deposit on someones westfield was a very nice thing to to do, was it !!!

Cracking result not bad at all for first time out

Congratulations and may all your problems be upgrades.

Pics or it didn't happen!

James could you fell me a nice tree as I'm now in need of a display shelf

BOX!!!!!!!!

Thanks for comments chaps. Yes seats and gears are highly over rated Norman! I have an RAC roll bar to fit and the frame extenders on back order, considering an aeroscreen for summer possibly. I have been running around a bit with the roof on and no doors getting drenched and smiling lots. I love the colour too but unsure about the black nose may paint it to match. Sticking with 2.0l pinto for a few years then may upgrade...
