remove the windscreen and unbolt the dash from the bonnet.Lift the bonnet a little and go forward to "unclip" it from the body....remove headlights first though or turn them around. So wotcha buildin'馃槑????? I'll pull it apart for ya if you want...I'm good at breaking things馃お馃

The blue one with cookies and the mag pics taken at gc was a good mate of mine and vr did a heap on the car. Not this one.
ang3lsholocaust 路
Yeah. that's the one Mat.
I thought this was it and it had been run into the ground.
Glad that it hasn't though
matberry 路
This one went to Straddie to live so might not be to pretty now.
Could tell as different colour blue and barwork also not the same.

The one he's bought is one of the many local ones.....about 13 known of here at the moment (manx's). Not bad for a population of around 140K.馃憤 Now to get them all on the road and in one place at the same time馃榾
Adsman 路
nice buy Steve will have to come over and check it out sometime
cheers

Is that all just 13? Out of the ten I know about 4 are not on the road. Surely there are more.
MickH 路
I was counting Manx's that I know of/have seen.Not counting other types of buggys.馃榾
