Will try and phone tonight matey

Right got my 3 door cossie grille and should have a new bonnet for the car by tommorow.

Will be finishing off the shells tommorow so i hope fingers and toes crossed that its running this time.

Still need to sort out the brakes as they are well soft anybody know a good company that can find the problem for me???

Want to take it the rolling road to see what power its running as i think its down on power (didnt feel that quick when i brought it up from London)

Will need to sort out the down pipe before i take it but it will give me a good figure of what the power is before i go putting silly engines in it (if i ever get a good 24v cossie engine)

Give me a shout and i will have a look at the brakes for you when its going.....

K cheers scooby

Been playing with the car a little today put the new front grill on.

OLD ONE




NEW ONE OFF A RS5OO



Looks a hell of alot better i think needs alittle bit of work but that will be done when it goes for a respray.

But for now i am trying to get it running proper.

Having problems trying to do the shells though (cos i am thick) so Jay is coming down later to see what i am doing wrong and point me in the right direction so hopfully fingers crossed it could be running this sat.

Picked up my bonnet.

Wanted somthing different and have looked about for a while now found this on ebay for a bargain.







Doesnt show it to well but i like the bulge its holed aswell so its not just for show.

Didnt finish the shells of but wont be long now.

Are you going to paint them white?

Just the grill like the bonnet black.

Worked on my toy again to day and had a mixed day really.

Got the crank to turn so set about checking the shells to make sure they had no marks on them and stuff and guess what THEY HAVE



THIS IS A NEW SHELL SHOULDNT HAVE ANY MARKING'S ON IT AS THE ENGINE HASNT EVEN RUN WITH THEM IN THE DAMAGE HAS HAPPENED WHILE THE CRANK HAS BEEN TURNED WITH A SOCKET.

1st one i took out had bits on it looked like small bits of metal and the top of the shell has a groove in it that is deep enough to put your nail in.

So i have desided to get another 2.8 engine for now as i want the car up and running (the 24v engine will be done late nextyear as planed).

But before i could go asking a mate has got me one of sombody he knows fully rebuilt and ready to go in so i WILL have the 4i up and running by the time the rolling road comes about.

Just got off the phone to a mate he has got me a new engine £80 its only the same one thats in it but it WORKS.

Need to start stripping the body down and i carnt because the cars stuck in the garage.

Also on the look out for a 3 door cossie front and back bumpers if anybody comes across any give us a bell.

Got two savings pots going on for both cars

good luck mate.Dont give up,if u have the room to store it then just keep it as a project and work it over a long time

Done a little bit of work on the car today

YES I STILL HAVE IT FORGET MYSELF FROM TIME TO TIME.



Got these a while back and had them in my mates trackcar.



Put them in but need to mod the frames alittle so they sit right.
