Just read your article.. Sweet Jose!!

Any news on the TSR 2.0l conversion parts?

didn't chase them mate, I'm in the process of agreeing terms with them and it looks as my departure is immanent, can either call them for you and stick the bits in my bag or have them sent to you, or the third method would be to order once I'm there and see what the time span for parts will be from order to arrival, I haven't followed up on some parts asked by others on the forum because I really need to get things set up there and running, shipping time scales and shipping costs are critical with what I want to do so was going to use a few of you as Guinea pigs

let me know what route you want to take and it'l be done mate

The shipping agent was good enough to inform me that the cars ready for pick up

Alex has been good enough to volunteer and pick the car up

What the hell am I still doing in the bloody uk, crap.

Looking forward to seeing you and the car out here mate.

I'm with Lumley Special Vehicles. Have always had "quotes" from Shannons, but Lumley are better and half the cost. Buy back, choice of repairer, glass cover, life time rating one. Its funny I always tell the people giving me quotes from Shannons I've had cheaper quotes elsewhere and they're like "where?" and I say Lumley, and they say "oh we'll never be able to beat Lumley"

Dude, as soon as I'm there I'll buz you, come collect your bits and let the world know that anything from the uk can be shipped and made for you,

Very much looking forward to terrorising a bit of tarmac with you mate

Lucky fella. Hope it all goes smoothly and let us know how you get on. Oh and don't be shy with taking photo's of it with your MK1

It's a car you can be really proud of that's going to make a big impression over here and hopefully inspire more people to build MK2's.

I hope it does kick start some projects, I really do, I know mines a bad example because of what's been spent on it but it really doesn't take a lot to have a nice looking car sitting properly, if I can get my hand on a clean mk3 with aircon I'll prove it, you just need the right parts at the right price and a bit of love.

and as for Alex's car, oh yes, there's going to be plenty of them shot

i think we need a meet when you get here just to meet you and see the beast

They'll have to clean the car- well supposed to. It got steam cleaned twice and I still found British mud under the wheel wells! If you can get it before hand, cool. I really need to get my engine sorted. It's running like a bag of ****!

I'll go through my mails to see what you were after and try to organise it before next tuesday.

the underside is better than the top dude, Style Hous had the car for 2 weeks cleaning it up and re waxing, only driven in the wet once and over 2 months travelled 500 miles in the dry.

I didn't want to do any of this out there in case I needed any parts, all the anchors new, rear bean with bones, everything, you need to put it up on a ramp to find the rubbish, lol

In just 10 hrs it should be on the back of a trailer (I hope) been taken by Andy to a garage to make it compliant, dare i say it and make the comment of being as smooth as a baby's bottom upto now, lol

It'll happen, just had a look at the events posted on here and I think i might be compliant for them, here's crossing your fingers time
