Stubbie'd my endcan.
 
Last weekemd I got a phone call from WRC63 who said "Do you remember what we talked about on Thursday ?"
"No" I replyed.
So apparentaly we said we would cut it down.

So saturday morn Dan (aka WRC63) came round to do some cutting.

Looks a bit too Long IMHO

I was just about to create a post asking how to do this. Is it just a case of cutting through the whole lot or should you take the end plate off then cut through each bit separately? Did you buy a new 'band' to rivet the end back on or make use of the old one?

Did you buy a new 'band' to rivet the end back on or make use of the old one? used the old one. as it has no wrighting on it ;-)

Cheers Richie. Looks like I have a project for next weekend! :) Do you happen to know whether it will make it an MOT fail just by making it stubby?

Very sexy, Richie!




And the stubby isn't bad either!:D
