A hover craft would be easier than a DUKW.

I could build this with ten grand and six months spare. ;)
 
My mate Kev' (Van of Death) is chopping up an old trampoline. I've asked for the legs to make bull bars with. ;)

The car should be arriving this weekend!!!!

Adrian Flux came in £40 cheaper than the Meerkats for a second car policy. £189 fully comp'. :)

The Fantasia is up for renewal next month even though I've declared her SORN so I can do all the jobs I wanted to do last year. As far as modifying the 4x4 goes I'm going to tidy the old girl up first and use her over Winter and do all the Off Roader stuff when the Fantasia is back on the road.

5000 mile limited mileage policies on both cars so 10,000 should be more than enough. ;)

P.S the £189 is a mirrored policy so my no claims is only valid in one car at a time so I can't have both on the road with a named driver in case anything happens to either.
 
My Panda 4x4 arrived today! :slayer:

Stuff in the back that needed sorting out...

New slave cylinders, shoes and flexihose for the rear, new pads for the front. Brand new fuel tank (if I put more than £10 in the car it leaks), spare 4x4 cylinder head, spare 4x4 sump, spare front arms, a pair of bottom ball joints, a headlight, set of non-4x4 clocks, brand new back box and a couple of parcel shelves that are knackered.

First repair. The car has passed the last three M.O.T's without a driver door handle.

Apart from the classic Dizzy "O" ring oil leak the engine is in fine fettle considering...

...the miles the old girl has been through.

Stripped the back out to find the edges are bloody good but...

...there's an M.O.T fail (lucky the seat had been removed eh? No rear seat, no rear seat belt checks).

Just as grubby as the front seats. They are very comfortable though and demonstrate how much the little car has lived.

The Eagle eyed will have spotted the Holly Grail of Pandaing...

...A PASSENGER DOOR POD!!!! :worship:

I thought the internally adjustable mirrors were decedent. ;)

Okay the usual shuttle panel rust hole...

...but the main problem is the car has not been washed for about ten years and...

...the paint has the black spots of death growing in there.

A twice over with a wet sponge and...

...the car (already called "The Ship") is almost presentable. ;)

Now the fun can finally begin.
