its great when christmas comes round again and lots of bits turn up in the post 

^^^^^ this is so true! love it when things get delivered. Always more exciting than buying them over a counter

I love to recycle old parts as much as possible but sometimes new is needed...i always shop around too so then then feeling of new parts hasn't hurt me as much in the wallet department lol...as for sliding around in the mud Brian its not that bad...giz me my youthful looks

CPR you're not hanging around are you?!

Does that mean you'll be making your way down to stoneleigh?

exactly what i did.
you can even fit a bicycle horn as long as it can be heard.
There are a few quick fixes you can do to get it through the MOT as long as it doesn't compromise safety

far as i can figure list of stuff to do is as follows
drill gearbox mount studs out
fit gearbox and engine
run brakelines
drill holes for master cylinder
bit of wiring and ignition
brake lights
tyres
mount seats
sort brace under dash and mount the rollbar
seatbelts
modify fuel tank
and a battery

bloody got some drill bits donated by a mate and my drill only goes and dies

That is sods law but things will work out.

Know exactly how you feel. Spent an hour building my beam back up to find that the threads for the grease nipples are shot so had to strip it back down again to drill and tap the holes for the next size up nipple and buy said nipples and a new tap!
