You know as well as I do thats a lie.

Which bit dude
The only thing I actually do want to start finishing off is my engine - I now have a set of ARP head bolts, and bigned bolts now, so going to "semi-strip" it again to fit them

Just need a 3.1 Final Drive and gasket set, along with some gearbox - engine bolts, and thats the "engine" done, just need to sort a clutch and flywheel....

James

[Dog]

to be honest dude - when I can afford them lol
I need to still get the "wheels" ready for spliting, would of got them this weekend, but I decided to other things, so got to arrange to get them collected now then I need to find £300 to get the work done, then I need them shot baslting a powdercoating...

Also, once i do get all these new bits, I won't be posting pictures of what he looks like, as I won;t be "shwoing" it off, till next year, kinda want it to be a "surprise" at Rivi Run

Yep, smae street, same van, same spot lol

If you look closely you can still see the oil on the floor from the White one...

Only problem I'm finding with the Van, is blooming parking it!!!! only a rear veiw Mirror, and a very roughly placed wing mirror...

you got used to it yet?

my door mirror prety much points down at the floor most of the time, i have to lean towards the window to look in it to see backwards!

[Bondbill2k2]

Yeh pretty much used to it now, had no choice really, still finding over taking on dual carriageway/motorways... but I just wait till I can see them in the rear view mirror.

Aye but I am getting arches now, so i can trim the front of the arches up to allow for my wide wheels now But I have quite a few tweaks to yet...


On a littler note, my engine is nearly finished, just got to get a fresh gasket set, a 3.1 FD, new push rods, and some gearbox bolts/nuts, and I am done

[MINIMON]

o guddy and cant wait for the wheels to go on... and what arches you putting on

[Dog]

I am thinking something "classic" like W&P, not going for the "group" series, I don't want to fix the arches on by the bodywork, if I can help it.

Like I said, things are going to be a bit slow with Flubber now, got a few things to sort out before I can go fitting porn to the Van

If anyone is reading this and happens to have a spare engine (pref a 998 with a 2.9FD) complete, and need it shifting, please let me know, doesn't have to be a runner - I only need it for spares

[andywaller]

what bits do you need?

i very nearly complete 998 spare, bit a of distance to travel though!

[Dog]

mainly nuts n bolts!

I need all that holds the box to the block, and the transfer casing (A+), along with a clutch cover... and a timing chain cover - pref with a breather in... and a pre-verto clutch setup

[andywaller]

this is only a series so prob not what your after.

[Dog]

The gearbox bolts will be the same - just the transfercase stuff won't be...

[MINIMON]
