Will pay obviously, found a pukka shell been sat for 2 yr since full strip and paint
I just haven't a clue where to start
Got another complete RS Turbo that I'd like to do it with, but don't know eneough to have a crack myself

 

i know it aint easy mate, but just take things of and refit them starting from outside
as long as you memorise where it came from etc, you should be ok,
i managed to take engine out and refit with out any experience
(with a little help from a mate)

 

I AIN'T GOT A GARAGE

 

i have reshelled a few cars last one being a cosworth
i whould take it on but i whould want about £1200 labour this may sound dear but there is a lot of work involved
thanks jc
the last i did took a week from start to finish

 

It's electrics I'm useless with lol
I'd want to do something special with it too though

 

That sounds a fair enough deal IMO!!

 

Just what I was thinking

 

is this just for runningear swap or the kit n shit like that??

 

loom, for one i imagine - one bad joint or connection and ya screwed

 

The loom aint that hard with a stripped out shell i mean i done mine and thats saying some thing have not had any problems with electrics just all other bloody bits

 

everythings traceable
use a good loom and its no worries

it all shows u where it wants to go neways
they are all the rite length and sit in the right clips

would be hard pressed to get it wrong

what shell is it??
1.3 or sumthin??

 

its an rs turbo shell with loom intact, kit etc already on car and thats something I can do anyway

It's the main work I'm interested in getting done really

 

just fitting the engine, turbo, exhaust, pipework/cooling system, fuel pump/system


or more?

do both shells roll?

 

the yarmouth crew are specialists at re-shell rs turbos/bonus shell etc



normally for the cost of Mcd's

 

pmsl

i havent really got time to chuck about but it could be done in a weekend if all went well

just scrapped another turbo so got more space

 

both shells will roll easily

 

I have just put an rst engine in a fiesta mk2 and had to take engine from both cars and re fit into the mk2 fiesta and do the loom etc having never removed an engine before i can say this is quite straight forward, i also had no engine hoist all i had was a set of axle stands a jack and a set of steelies done everything all by myself.

If you had a driveway or could push both cars to a private car park i rekcon you could do it in no time especialy as both cars are identicle and you already have loom in there

£1200 for a simular job i must be in the wrong trade

Good luck with the reshell, is the best feeling in the world when u do it yourslef and can stand back and say "i did this"

 

 

I'd take it on for £1200 but I think my parents would pull there hair our if I suggested doing it in there garage

James,

Whats happened to the car in your sig??Have I missed something?

 

I still got it and love it, doubt I'll kill it lol - love it too much really

 

I'd give the job to JC to be honest. You just have to get the 2 shells there!!

 

make a list of what actually wants shifting from donor to shell

its gotten a bit confusing

 

if nige didnt want to take it on id be up for it for a reasonable price , send me a pm and talk from there mate , i was up that way last weekend doin a engine lol,.

 

Haven't got engine done yet lol

I want something different

For starters, studd that can be done without engine in it

Brake lines, fuel lines
Electircs all sorted and working sweet
Just as long as everything is done bar the engine, I'll be happy
