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' ????? I'll
pull it apart for ya if you want...I'm good at breaking things

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. Now to get them all on the road and in one place at the same time

Is that all just 13? Out of the ten I know about 4 are not on the road. Surely there are more.
