She does look good, shame about the tin worm at the back. Couple of weekends work and she will be out playing in the mud

Ouch !! ..... But, it is about their only weakness - we run two - and we're keeping em

Out of interest, seven seater with sunroofs by any chance ?????

Edit:- just had a closer look at your piccie - IMHO, repair your tank strap whilst you still can..... I had to make one from scratch .... and it's tedious

Hi, yes, 7 seater, 2 sunroofs and neither of them leak

The rear crossmember is gone too and both inner wings, but apart from that she is solid. Just hard finding the time with work and 2 kids, is 3 to young to teach them to weld?

I have a tank gaurd, will that be sufficient to hole the tank or is the strap essential?

must say she looks nice from the front --- but you need to move them snails closer to the damage and re-post a pic or 2

AFAIK, Tank guard just protects the underside - the strap holds the tank into the guard, so, yep, strap is essential, both for tank mounting, and for the MOT.
