Never took much notice of me front bumper tbh. If I can make use of franks doors then I shall break it

went and brought this mk4 today, was hopin to be a quick weld up then smoke around while i take my mk3 of the road but looks like this will take some time. brought back to bucks from wales this morning and got straight onto stripping engine bay ready to clean the whole tin of oil they used in there (everything you touch is sticky and a mess). even got evostik holding tops of wings on. needs o/s doors and tailgate if any going spare if mk5 dont fit as might break frank the tank now. will let the pics do the talking for now. wtf the n/s rear chassis rail

:thumbup: engine bay already stripped mark

wanted to go diesel but having trouble finding rwd diesel bits so might just stick 2.3 in it for time being if plans go wheel. your mate lee its not mr edwards is it

alignment shouldn't be too much trouble as i shall leave old o/s bits on car first and get all measurements from my other mk5 to fit n/s square.

managed to find time to get new chassis legs of spare front end and start stripping old chassis down.

got number ends in 1147

i'll have the bushes and collect sataday if poss

hi just having a think and wondering if anyone has ever solid mounted the front axle on mk3/4/5. solid mount it as in the 4 main subframe bushes gets removed and welds the holes up with tube and a bolt through it. thinking about trying it on my mk3 as front end is fully polybushed with everything newly replaced but still rather soft and bounces around

front chassis got removed so they could fabricate it into a american motor along with both axles, place was like a small boyd coddington shop, it was a custom hot rod bodyshop called valley gas in andover

had slight engine bay fire, started to strip and repaint some panels, rebuilt axles. advertised it on here with lot of spares no one wanted it so give it to my brother in law to race while still tax and tested

chassis will just take a fair bit of time measuring up exact and cutting new piece out to exact size. looks tidy from distance but close up its pretty bad. i did own this tina about 6 years back and was tidy then

u should all know this motor by now (frank the tank), now mine as brought of ebay and collected yesterday, brought with no running gear and engine bay chassis cut out, but i got a complete mk4 front end and lots of axles so didnt bother me. still got mot till september. plans are to reweld new chassis legs, refit axles and fit a ford 1.8td lump on t9 box. paint job is patchy, dont think primer was used as can still see the original blue, rear arches are full of filler and totally lost count on the amount of patches that have been welded on the car. bodywork and interior will be staying untouched for time being as conditions dont bother me (take look at current mk3 road car lol). managed to fit 2.0 rear axle today and strip the rubbish out engine bay, they had cut the wiring loom into bits, cut brake lines, remove and dismantle the servo and heater box. and a picture of my current everyday car with 2.8 5spd fitted

thanks for the offer, i got all tools to make myself but just as easy to fit s/h pipes

these 1's i got of the bay about a month ago 2 are in bad condition and got large 4x4 tyres on them

mk5 estate good brake pipes wanted, need all the copper/metal brake lines. 3 under bonnet and long chassis one thanks

Got set of white 14'' wellers for sale

Hope this one stays on road and gets finished

been meaning to come round castlethorpe and knock about it but didnt relise you were a bsc member, pretty certain this used to live in conniburrow as i remember the reg from years back, would love it but havnt quite got the cash at mo. good luck with sale

facelift and need a full interior as mine is a mixture of mk3/mk5 bits with door cards in bits. thanks

after a o/s rear light lense, full interior not too fussed on colour and a set of good doors. also after some v6 front/rear springs if anyone got some. thanks

got a mk4/5 rear axle with 4.44 ratio, is there much call for it as thinking about ebaying it. thanks

got a 2.0 axle £100 milton keynes

thats a crying shame. wished I bought it now, at least it would have served to build mine before it went around the track. dont suppose you know what part of the country its gone, and if you've a contact for the buyer, maybe I could do a deal with him on a panel exchange, if its just going around the track............. guy coming up wednesday to collect so will ask him then hopefully pass u his contacts. he from rainham, kent border
