  1. Yeah sorry .. 2 unions need to be undone there on the chassis between the tank .. and subframe
  2. just the exhaust is the main part that has to be removed
  3. yep as mikey says really easy job .. u may need a long'ish cracker bar for the Main bolts but thats about it Rear Section of the exhaust needs to come off Rear section of the Prop Release the hand brake cable from the balancer unbolt the cable from center tunnel undo the small mount brackets 6 bolts in total undo the bolt mount from the lower part of the shocks 4 Main sub frame bolts .. use a Jack to lower the frame down on to the floor .. kinda done
  4. nope it was from his house .. lol all the trim bits i knew about ... the extent of the rot was where he lied about it .. but i went and brought it as i knew there is just that chance it may be ... but like u said brave man to spend that cash knowing its quit possible not going to get it bk ... and this is one of those car .. but i'm not going to
  5. really u think so ? lets just state a few things .. Cost of the car Cost of the repair 300>400 ( Sills>Chassis>tagra>rear qarter panel> spray paint ) other parts it needs to tidy up 2 fogs 1 tagra 1 tagra trim 2 rear side trims 2 seats replacing ( for standard ones ) MOT and Tax so be time u take your timing doing/replacing think the face value of the car would be around 1500 if all ready was in Mint or a condition to be sold at that price so would be lucky to break even with it to sell as a hole
  6. thats so true .. the owner reassured me that it was all in good order .. LOL well that was a big fat lie well i'm sure i will get my £££ bk
  7. well the outcome for this car is not so good ... going to drive it for another month or so untill the MOT runs out ... but it has Major body rot :( .. oh well had it up on some ramps today .. looks like someone has been doing repairs before completely bodged the front drivers chassis rail .. with box section rotten on the front part of the sill Seat mount has all most been ripped out Rear sill has gone too and in the middle so really all one side of the drivers needs replacing other side not quit has bad but still needs work given the value of the car for resale .. its going to be Broken so for any one interested in Parts Please contact me will put up the proper advert in months time when i stop using it
