aye Ben drove it up to the garage, going well but a bit hard to control on standard suspension!

Eclipse was pretty rotten mate unfortunately, stripped it bare though.

ross whats the budget of putting one of these in mate? my brothers welding up the cab as soon as i get a new welder, fancy pm'ing me about the details was meant to ask you about it when you phoned earlier about that other one at my house. sounds along the lines of what im looking for in my decent cab shell!

p.s. shotgun at knockhill?

costs will depend mate, i got the eclipse at a pretty good price i thought (Ł450) which included a very good 2.0 zetec, 130 spec inlet, throttle body, ecu etc, all the usual stuff was done to fit the mk4 and also had the RST box, Recaro's, brakes, fuel tank etc so just swapped everything over, plus i reckon i'll make about Ł100 back in bits I dont use.

really depends on the cost of the donor car/engine i reckon.

i'd say that was pretty overpriced for a donor car mate, i'd be paying about half that at the most for one.

Tax at weekend and i'll try and fire through
