trying to help my mate sort out fitting a manual box into an auto, we have managed to pick up a pedal box out of a 2200 what do we need to do to make it work, i understand the master cylinder is different on the v8 to the 2000/2200 but does it attach in the same way or what do we need to do...

ok had a look in haynes and i cant find anything useful in there so must only be in the workshop manual, would anyone mind giving me the measurements (and explaining were to measure from and to) so i can check this out as dont want to buy new springs if i dont need to, of course if it isnt the...

brilliant thanks for the replies, as to the the design of the exhausts basically we have a standard set of manifolds move down the down pipe which is then just a straight piece of tube running at a diagonal towards each of the rear wheels and about half way along each pipe there is a cherry bomb...

hey, i am beginning to suspect our springs have sagged, we have a custom exhaust exiting on both sides if the car and when trying to pull the car off our drive (an annoyingly stepp incline that then drops back onto the road) the exhaust grounds out at the top of the hill, what is the correct...

that makes perfect sense thanks! well lots to plan and pay for i suppose but i definitely think the live axle will happen some point next year its the only way to sensibly gain wide tyre and a reliable diff without ridiculous modifications to the exterior

I actually agree with you that the de dion is a great set up and if the plan was to go jut suped up muscle car for general enjoyment i would never consider the live axle. and the only point we would consider going to the extreme of liv axle would be once the power gains start getting too much...

brillliant thanks very much look forward to coming and getting some bits from you!

tried sending you a PM marcus but it doesnt seem to be leaving our out box??????? anyway i would be glad to come up and collect and remove the parts as long as you dont mind waiting until after christmas, thanks very much for your offer and i will look forward to meeting you in the new year

i dont think you would replace the whole body with tube chassis althought i suspect that would be more than possible the easiest way would simply be to remove the floor pan and build i tube chassis into that space with uprights for the suspension, i also feel that this idea whilst being a really...

Thanks Kman I'm sure that will be very useful.

frenched lights wouldnt really work with how thin the rear wing tip is and i agree totally about the light output for a short period i had a totally frenched led sled borrow from a friend and the rear lights were totally unnoticable in traffic i was constantly worried some one would back end us...

nottingham or kent for my parents depending on where you are

hey looking for a manual pedal box as swapping out the auto box for a 5speed, also any of the other useful bits if anyone has anything

well quick update as we haven't been up to much, stripped out all the interior and cleaned all the surface rust and grot off so that we can work out if any welding needs doing, and thankfully only to small areas need doing in the rear passenger foot wells so thats good, managed to fit the nice...

thats an interesting idea, what would have to be done about the suspension setup? that would give us much better off the line traction so would be useful

there is something about the rear lights that isnt quite right i suspect it might just be the angle they sit as mentioned before, but we will probably be replacing them at some point to make the shape flow better i have seen a set of LED's that are completely hidden until they are on which could...

heres a reattempt at uploading photos hope it works this time

yeah we don't know what went wrong with the pictures every-time we tried to upload them it said it was too big shrunk them a bit and now suddenly they are tiny? what do you guys use to sort photos for on here

We've seen all the videos including the one when it was blue. We did a lot of research before buying it. It was one of the many previous owners who put the video up, not the man we bought it off! We'll keep you posted on how it all goes although the most time comsuming thing we have to do...

well to start with we recently bought the car from ebay as an no MOT rat rod project. a trip to stevenage from nottingham to tow it back was loads of fun! had to remove the prop shaft so it could be towed the plan of this taking an hour or so backfired a bit with 4 of the bolts refusing to let...

yeah before we bought her went all round looking for them after we found the first one, well things are progressing well we have found a place to make us a custom stainless exhaust system, managed to pick up lovely new 390 holley on saturday along with a good condition second hand offenhauser...
