I think its been two years now since I started the original 'Operation: Nancy' thread in the Honda conversions section. And after those two year of inactivity due to work commitments/restraints, Ive organised for a very kind man to build it for me.

And the reason its in here is because she (Nancy) is becoming a Zcar!




Why cant you cheer and stuff on the web??


Please bear with me withst I compile a brief photo history of this 'Operation' so far :)

Cheap tools are cheap for a reason.

Trying to disypher the looms that came with the engine

Second attempt at removing the crank pulley bolt

Ignore the Harrier weapons pylon at the back of the desk. I wasnt shirking off work to dismantle my engine, honest.

Third attempt. This time with a 3' breaker bar, screwdriver locking off the flywheel, 1" drives and 5 mates.

Dismantling continues...

Four very nice men helped Nancy out that day :wub: I like how you've tried to get the pictures life-size so it feels like we're actually there with you.

So when's Nancy's Z-cars conversion completion date? :thumbsup:

The completion date is hopefully going to be spring '09 bar finishing touches.

I dont know what happened with the last few pictures, photobucket must like them and decided you needed to see them that big.
