I'll dig out and post to you one of the bits you need.

Sorry i let you down on that one christian. theres a damn transit on my drive way that belongs to my brothers m8. i didnt expect it to be there this long. i will look after it sometime in the future for you if you need me to. wouldnt mind doing some work on it. il see how things go. cheers steve.

[moomin]

so does that mean i am stuck with it now?

oh joy better fix it then, whos got the roll cage? i could get that fitted, strip the interior out i'm sure a bucket seat could be found easily as well

:yes:

[HereBeMonsters]

There's a guy on ebay who sells very cheap bucket seats...Ross posted the link a few weeks ago.

That would be me. I'd be happy to drop it off if you wanted to have a go. Wouldn't mind joining in with a few others to 'help' if that is on the cards?

Cheers

Where abouts are you mate?

End of july i'm off for six weeks, i recon we could make some actual progress in that time. Will have access to a full work shop over the summer as well

[iain a]

well if youre spending time at weekends working on it i dont mind coming down and giving a hand if i can. let me know when.

[moomin]

sounds like a plan, won't be this month though too busy with work, writing bloody reports is a c00nt

p.s. are we going to make it rwd at the same time ?

[malcolm]

It is a plan. Let me know which weekend(s) and I'll drop down with the roll-cage and lend a hand. Don't count on me too much though - more of a clipboard holder than a mechanic I'm afraid.....

[iain a]

i dont know about making it rwd in a weekend though we could get the engine out so we can have a measure up. i can supply a engine crane and a grinder if we need to cut anything.

is that definately the plan then to convert to rwd?

if so what back axle can we use? does anyone have anything laying around that we can have?

have we lined up an engine yet?

what about the zetec that tigran had is that still being offered? if so we would need a ford type 9 to bolt to it.

anyone got one of those they dont need?

[moomin]

well not in one weekend but we can make a start thats for sure.
I can maybe get some box section and sheet from work for free for fabricating a prop tunnel and engine mounts

[Christian]

I'd lend a hand and I'm sure Andie would too. :good:

Sorry for not poking my head in more regularly. But if someone organises a work weekend and gives some notice, and we get a plan of action going I'm sure we could get a fair few tasks ticked off between us. Just with my doorwork and other work over summer I need some sort of notice. But am more than willing to give up time to the cause.

Excellent idea. Put on a barbecue on the Saturday night and make a social out o it as well.

Find me a spot to pitch my tent and you may even tempt me down from the grim north!

Well i check with gf and find out when is best to tear a car apart all over the drive
