Hi Paul, It's all good....had the coldest December since records began in the UK but Mo & Bobbie are all nicely tucked up in the garage. It's been a little crazy in the Uk with work and family hence my absence. Father in law and I have big plans for Mo in the spring here....need to sort out the brakes, steering, gearbox and engine.

I wish I had Bugger here in the UK as I should have got him to do Mo's box when I was there..... Bugger, have you considered exporting boxes?

Dont want to take anything away from Bugger, but have you tried The Cog Box? They supposed to be pretty good.

Finally - the single cab is through roadworthy and registered in my name 8)

There is still much to do on it, I know I need to attend to the front suspension, replace shocks, tie road ends, etc, etc. It just kind of passed as it is.
There are still big plans for this pick-up, but the money is scarce, so we must be patient .........

Louis, the exhaust is fine, looks and sounds like a "volla". Just need to weld one bracket on it. It is made by Tuffex, PM Sean for orders, etc, etc.
