    Jimmymac in deep????

    Yeah i think i might be in too deep here what ya reckon???




    After extensive checks the rails are gone might abandon ship. I am using this vehicle as a donor for the gearbox ( Auto fault previously posted) and was thinking about making this a car again too. Rails are round and bags are out.
    Keep you posted if i have a brainwave.
    Cheers

    OUCH!

    Someone was obviously driving it a little too quickly. Not you, was it Jimmy?

    Anyone got a front cut????? Rad support complete then i might think about it??????? Bags are out too. Bloody shame has been a good thing. AH forgot to mention Autobox ( as it is being robbed from this to fix another).
    Yeah rails are bad OS has a kink in it too, but no suspension set back.
    Just discovered this morning that the sump is cracked too( alloy welders out there)

    Yeah just on Jarreds comment - may consider break so it has V6 2.6 and nice leather trim and of course all the brakes.
