So do i mate im just trying to sort so much stuff out for it at the moment.. a friend of mine is a sprayer so hopefully i am going to speak to him the weekend to see when and how much to finish off the engine bay and paint it all up.. then after the engine bay done i can start buying more stuff.. after the engine bay done i might just tart it up and put it through its MOT then atleast i know i can drive it should i need to..

Well spoke to my mate tonight and he has quoted me £200 for welding in battery repair panel and spraying the bay depending on how much prep is needed.. which i think is a very good price  :smiley:

Am not too sure, am on 288 5stud but I feel upgrading to 312 tt brakes will happen soon just cos there overly big on a mk2. I think you would need full g60 huib assembally, but that would be easier from a carrado. Ask mr monday as he had em on the wagon.
