Can't wait! Can I help? Let me know when you are doing work on the body. I can be your hands. .....
That sounds so wrong !
To clarify... I'd like to help sorting the bodywork as I know you'll not be up to much for a while with your dodgy mitts.

Matt it'll be a tad longer than a month as I'll be banned from working on cars at the workshop for around 6 weeks after next Thursday but I'll be back as soon as my hands are sorted so shouldn't much after that ;D |

That was quick Mark, I was still looking out for a car for you as well.
Like Matt says, we know it will not be back burner for long.
Good luck with your hands.

(and the engine obviously) seats will probably be in tomorrow as the stock seat are horrid not to mention blue very very blue ;D will also be removing the bumpers at some point and replacing them with later lighter and smaller ones the ones it has though are very straight though so if anybody wants good set of old bumpers they will be very cheap ;D  |

When you get to do the engine swap, any chance I can buy the intercooler pipes off the T5? Both pipes, the one from the turbo to the intercooler, and the one from the intercooler to the throttle body.

nice project, I will look forward to seeing it.
A friend of mine is planning similar in a 740, I think he said the normal exhaust mani wont work and I think theres less space in a 240, what are you plans?
I know the T5 has a reputation for power from the old 850 T5R but consider the redblock, the Swedes make silly power with them and I've seen your car, you can too.
you must have seen the hedburg and van kronenburg vids on youtube?

fixed the suspension today ;D before :  after much better curse word pics though sorry it was a bit dark ;D    also gave the engine bay a good clean looks much better under there now .   the new colour will be the blue i was going to do the 100e in as i already have lots of it tried a little bit out on the rear quarter to see what it looks like on the car and i think it will work well .  some bits that won't be going back on these parts can be purchased very cheaply if anyone wants them ;D and this pile of parts will be getting bigger as new parts are collected ;D full set of side trims all in very good condition plus a set of centre caps £10  pair of headlight wipers offers  |
