In article <Xns9933AB6D98441adrianachapmanfreeis (AT) 204 (DOT) 153.245.131>, Adrian says... Dr Zoidberg (alexNOOOOOO!!!!!!!@drzoidberg.co.uk) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : or one they're selling? MOT would be nice but isn't essential, need a Mk3 that drives well but is ideally scruffy with a good engine / box / diff. 87-92 (non cat) would be perfect. Cash waiting for the right one (maybe need more than one..) Do I spot a silly project in the making...? Sounds like quite a sensible project IMO If Pete's involved, it won't be *that* sensible. Knowing Pete, he'll buy the wrong Grandad and end up with a Twinker engine instead of a Pinto then wonder why the fuck it won't fit. |
wrong one yet...

Conor (conor.turton (AT) gmail (DOT) com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying : Knowing Pete, he'll buy the wrong Grandad and end up with a Twinker engine instead of a Pinto then wonder why the fuck it won't fit. If he got either, it'd be one helluva cockup, since he explicitly states he wants a 2.9... Missed that. Plenty of rotting Sierra XR4x4 on fleabay. So you missed "engine/box/diff" in the original post, too? |
I'd like a 4x4 one but as this particular project has front wheels about 2ft
further forward than the engine there's fuck all chance of getting the 4x4
system to fit. XR4x4 driveshafts pass through the sump which pretty much
knackers any chance of 4wd.

they'd like to sell, preferably an Ifor Williams or Brian James one. 16x6ft
bed would be nice.

This isn't the fabled engine-at-both-ends 6 litre 4WD kitcar is it? |
how No1 goes. Thing is, since someone mentioned doing a 2.9 Fiesta I'm half
tempted to do that as well now....
All will be revealed in the nearish future..
