He's still got to pay to get the thing out before he even sends it to Agency.

Depends on how knackered the box is, i've seen people pay a sh*t load more for a rebuild than that. But if the rebuild cost is the same as a second hand box then i'd go with the rebuild.

BRG is quite a dull colour, it's your car at the end of the day so you can paint it any colour you like, I just think a nice red would look loads better.

Only Brooklands green Mk1 in the country apparently, he didn't tell the lad he bought it off he was changing the colour incase it upset him. lol

Selector shaft seal, mine does it too, i've decided it's just easier to top it up every couple of months.

Paint it in that stuff that turns the metal rat look scene w*nker rusty, that'll make him explode!

F*cking size of the engine in that Escort!

You mean I get to sit on my arse and supervise while you slave away? Sounds good to me.

Now you're talking.

BRIGHT F*CKING RED!!!

Oh dear God no! That's f*cking horrible!

Andy wouldn't let you back in his garage if you made a sh*t job of the paint.

This guy.......this guy knows!

I'm not looking forward to getting beaten by an oil burner at Santa Pod.

Depends on your budget, the JC5 130 I bought was £275 and 10k miles newer than my old one, it's done a track day and 2 drag days where it's been subjected to burnouts and 7k rpm gear changes, i've hammered it as much as you can and it's still going strong 3 years later and that's on a daily driver.

Yeah it's not easy, I wouldn't be able to do it on my own, luckily through CS i've made mates that could easily do it and would come over and help me, I bought a new clutch to go in mine when I changed it. If you got yours rebuilt, you'd still have to pay for it to be removed, then refitted, on...

Found the colour you should paint it.

Ok mate, shouldn't take too long to pull it apart, as long as every nut and bolt isn't rusted to sh*t.

You'll have to pick a colour before the engine goes in, unless you're painting the engine bay a different colour? Although knowing you you'll build the thing, get it working, tune it just right, then pull the engine out to paint the thing.

I said NATO green to begin with, but it's not 'look at me' enough for him. :rasp: So i'd manage to convince him to go with Pillar box red with black wheels and accents, signal yellow's too close to liquid yellow for my liking.

That's not too bad then, good job you work at a body shop, any of the window seals perished?

Where's the rust then, sills and rear arches?

What you on about Porsche signal yellow, I thought we were going with Hot Rod red? Looks like it came out of a lake. lol

Yeah that doesn't sound good at all, there's a JC5 in the for sale section for £250. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?756948-Jc5-gearbox-orange-samcos-rs-inlet-and-smooth-boot&p=10459154#post10459154 I've been using a JC5 130 I got at a breakers yard for the past 3 years.

What? I listen, I just don't remember.

I'm sure you mentioned getting rid of it when you went on your selling frenzy, also I thought you lost the workshop space? I take it it's in Sams garage?

I thought you'd sold this thing, nice to see it coming along mate.

I don't get why the Drive network have gone the pay to view route, I used to watch all their vids, now I don't watch any, whereas Finnegan and Freiburger mentioning sponsors and the brand names of the parts they're using doesn't bother me in the slightest. I think the big difference is that...

Petrolisious Dirt Everyday (Motortrend channel)

Chris Harris is pay to view, whereas this is totally free! I know which i'd rather watch, I wonder why they're not doing Hot Rod Unlimited this year?
