finishing date
Hope to have finished by the end of next weekend, but waiting on some bits for the engine from the US, plugs, belt etc
Its bound to have a few problems, as it was a non runner when brought, mind you found a couple of ecu boxes umplugged, so who knows it might be a runner after all. I'll keep you posted, any one got a passenger footwell trim panel in black with the boot release switch in it, please. Attachment 752 look at the MCR caftmanship modifing the tunnel chassis hoop for clearance to fit the propshaft, a monkey with a hacksaw would of done a neater job.

Finished as quick as next weekend? Blimey... that's quick!
Well, it's been said before but hats off to you for such an ambitious project. Re: propshaft tunnel... looks like that support brace should have just been removed rather than cut-through... |

Costs so far
Its better to wait until its up and running for the total , i think, but i hope to save 50% of cost of buying one undamaged.
