Title: Banham
Post by: Peet on 02, March, 2010, 05:30:35 PM
Hi,

Just joined the forum, recently bought a banham x21, just needs roof, windows and interior done to be complete, but its MOT'd and road legal!... Thought it's an easy project for an introduction to kit cars for me!

If anyone has an X21 or X99, would be interested to hear from you as would be nice to see a finished roof and windows before I attempt it!

Thanks,

Pete

Welcome to the forum. What is the difference between the X21 & X99, I know they are both Metro based.

An X21 sold on Pistonheads recently and another one still for sale.  Is that the one you bought ?

yup, the one for 1250 with no roof, yet....

Incidentally if anyone has put poppers on a roof before, please let me know...

Bri ?  did you do that home built roof option from Locost forum ?  Poppers on that if the old memory is working this evening.

Peet - at least we know the colour now  ;)

Nope. But did do them on the first Bulldog many years ago. You were supposed to buy a special tool for the job but I found that if you splayed the shaft of the popper first a little then with the correct sized bolt you could tap out the rest till it rolled over and held the internal part in place..  ;)
