It's a shame you're breaking the 4g really, cos it's not that bad, it's dent-riddled for sure, but the rust is nothing on how bad mine was before I manned (womaned) up and welded it up! I can't see how the new 4g will be any less rotten, they're normally just as bad but hide it better, granted they are easier to repair.. but still..... Also what bits can you swap over? Just all the bits you've bolted onto the 3dr?? Either way I am fully looking forward to seeing the new baby, just hope you do it like you said, will look awesome, and a bit different :) (even though you're muggin' off my scheme haha :P)
I think if you want to own a 4g, you have to put in serious work to keep it from rotting away, and lets face it, it's totally worth it, they're so rad!
I will also miss the little 4g, we never got to have our shoot! I've got my MOT booked in for saturday, so I'll finally be back in action if all goes to plan! See you at the Weymouth meet?? :)

haha cheers lil, i can swap most bits over, and it seems alot more solid that the old one( managed to get the jack through the sills etc) i know its the shame we didnt get to have the photo shoot but we can always have one with the new 4g. and yes the weymouth meet should be good and theres a shuttle going aswell (Y). did you manage to sort your lights out in the end?

I'm skeptical about that photo! Everything looks on the wonk? But either way.... He's got huge scene points, clearly!

Dunno, i've completely stripped the rear out, taken the rear bumper off and the binnacle, but can't find anything yet!
