07 Development Car - Not The End, Or.....A False Dawn
...... even the beginning of the end, but perhaps the end of the beginning!!!
I have just heard that Corin (Messenger) has removed the front sub-frame from 07 in preparation to instal the new engine and auto box. Onwards and upwards! Last edited by tonybubble; 4th October 2011 at 16:20.. |

As Yoda might have said 'Gobsmacked I am'. I stand by my earlier comments - that looks like a pile of scrap that no-one in their right mind would have taken on...... but, it just goes to show that there are those amongst us who boldy go where no man etc etc.... Hats off both to you Corin for attempting it, and to you Tony for funding it. By the way, have you sold the good lady wife yet? Or was that next week. I wish you all the best as progress is ongoing.

Getting the engine and box in will only be the start of the challenge I think, there's a load of extra wiring under that bonnet - most of it green, god knows what it was for, and a compare and contrast of my underbonnet with that of 007 throws up a lot of 'what the hell is that' (for me at least)
