Just a quick question, any help would be good I had a quick search on the tinternet for 8v engine re-builds but only realy came up with UK information. What I'm asking really is if anybody in W.A has had a rebuild so to speak or just a engine clean up and can recommend anywhere that isn't going to try and rip me off with some European engine bull**** costing a fortune? Even if anyone knew a place or someone I could take it to just get the engine checked! So I can buy parts that are needed as I go along!
Cheers peeps

Unfortunately due to arseholes who cant drive im going to need a full external re-spray once all my new parts come! can anybody point me in the right direction? My plans are once i have all the parts to sand it down, filling the odd dent and trolly bump, priming stripping the car so its ready to paint myself but need a shop to paint it, Dose anybody know a painter who is good but on the cheaper side of things? Parts are now starting to add up down to the toss bag who made me swerve!!!

Can somebody do me a quick favor and mesure between the two front bolts that hold the wish bone, track arm on. I have been looking on the Internet for a floor plan or chassis diagram but no success!
I need to find out how far mine is out from the original position, thank you

Mate gutted to hear about your accident. That wheel is ruined! I know it gets said every time but as long as you're ok man. Everything else can be fixed. Good luck with the stripping man take a look at that wheeler dealers episode with the fiat 500, Edd China strips it down for spraying and he does this awesome trick for getting the windows in and out which I couldn't explain on here if I tried, here's a link actually. I think it's in part 1 where he takes them out and part 2 they go back in.

After a long much needed holiday up in kallbarri I managed to get time to check the measurement of the chassis and to my delight it is still with in the factory dimensions so thanks to roccodingo (again) I have just saved some money to put towards the re spray!!!

happy bloody days just gotta wait till the 20th of may for all my parts to arive in Fremantle
