damn yooooou!!!


lol, the bloke who's doing the transporting, is going away on hols on the 18th!



Now to give the owner of the jag a call, to see if I can drop the price down a bit hehe

[chairchild]

balls....

he's realised he'd make more if he scrapped it - so he aint budging from the £200 mark! Ah well, a total of £350 for a (virtually) complete jag v12? Not gonna complain at that!


Done a bit more research, and it turns out that the jag's wheelbase is only about 50cm more than a mini, so mine wont have to be as long as I thought it would! Might even get away with having it 1m longer..... but I want more than that. May make it around 1.75m longer, and relocate the jags front suspension to in front of the engine, and place the grille between the suspension turrets, to give it the look I originally wanted. Really starting to love the jag's wheels too! Gonna polish them up, should come up a treat!


Reeeally want to do a photochop so I can adjust the pics to suit the newest plans, but I'm at my other halfs, and I haven't got my photo program here (and MS paint, just doesn't cut it! lol)

[666junky]

I just overheard the comment that the jag is definately going and that you had rang him.. so i guess it really is going for good!

I may be put to work later to take off the shiney bits

Aparently it was driven in.. and has been stood for 4 or five years.. ohwell

[Dog]

Dan.... can you not just weld the Mini shell to the Jags floor pans?

[666junky]

No plip plop log book for the jag.. so im not sure on what it would be liscenced as..


Im guessing width would be another problem lol.. I actually cant wait for the jag to be gone.. Its just in the way.. and has naughty words sprayed on it..

[Dog]

ahhh now I forgot about the width.... bah, just cut it down the Middle, and widen teh shell

Excuess to get another Mni then dan

[chairchild]

noooooope!!!! lol, I'm determined to stick to my original plan!!


So were you "put to work" to remove the shiny bits then nikki?

[666junky]

Not yet, Been stood infront of a stupid cnc machine ALL DAY.. "open the door, take out metal peice, replace with other bit.. close door.. press button" for at least 5 hours

Anyways.. could you give me a list of things that NEED to be on it?
Danke

[chairchild]

erm...


bits that make it move

bits that make it stop

bits that make it turn


besides that - not a lot else really! So mainly just mechanical bits are what I'm after - he can keep as many bits of trim as he likes, they'd only be binned if they went with me


Oooh. one last Q that's been on my mind - is it a manual, or an auto? As apparently, there were a few manual ones made as well!

[666junky]

Think its an auto.. or thats what martin muttered when he saw the pictures..

Its beyond me

[Dog]

Its an Auto dude

[Down&Out]

roof chop that shell! i want something like this now
