oh yes he did, i was called in with the promise of a visit to pounland to get the bloody thing out of the car and stick it in the shed. boy is that thing rusty :shock: someone has also welded the flipper shut so its angle grinding time

i think i may have tetanus now

any pics?

overall condition is good, most of the frame is rusty but the armour panels are actually quite rust free. most of the bolts need replacing aswell. for some reason the flipper is welded shut at 1 point (about an inch of weld) so will need to grind it off. hinge could do with replacing aswell. most of the armour is covered with a layer of 4mm polycarb which is nice. it currently weighs approximately 65kg. all in all it's a nicely designed machine in need of some tlc and a large amount of time with a wire brush

pictures will happen soon

funny, i got told my shell is 25kg

mine will probably be in much the smae way

**jonny** · 17th September 2011, 22:21

when are you collecting yours matt? i assume 25kg is a typo/miscalculation, i don't see how a heavy shell of that size armoured in 3mm mild steel could weigh just 25kg! forgot to mention before, my one has bosch 750 mounts aswell

really love how it looks, it's alot more compact than metanoia aswell, we managed to get it in the boot without folding down the seats!
