It's been sat in my garage for four years and I'm 50/50 on selling it, but it has to go. I may 'break' if you want, but four years is too long without even giving it a second look. I keep getting told to get it finished but it's never going to happen. What I have that you can have: Fully tig-welded space frame (with -some- mount welded in and steel side/floor plating, and aluminium + steel ), Escort mk1 live axle with half shafts Sierra steering rack Modified/welded to fit Sierra steering shaft Pinto 1600 engine Pinto 2000 inlet manifold 2x Cortina refurbished uprights (bearings, ball joints) Fabricated front wishbones (high standard) with ball joints top and bottom (Transit) Fabricated engine mounts for Pinto Type 9 gearbox With a couple of months you could have this moving about on wheels. It doesn't need that much work, but too much for me as it's in a garage without electricity and it's taking up space. This lot fitted into the back of a Peugeot box 'transit' style van (With it poking out of the doors). It's light, don't worry about that side. !OFFERS or SWAPS! I can't keep it any longer.

Sorry for big pics. Here it is as it is stored now - I moved this myself!! Escort rear axle (half shafts and differential not shown): Top/bottom wishbones (two sets of these): Includes mini-steering wheel/boss and pedals (welded mount on spaceframe!): (Notice surface rust on skuttle - I've treated this, but you'll use a firbre glass one anyway) Also includes Yamaha modified bike can welded onto Sierra manifold (fits perfect): Type 9, more wishbones, and Cortina uprights: Engine pathetically plopped inside! Steering rack (note engine does have mounts, but wasn't in this case):

My mate said i was a Caravan Utilising Nomadic Tourist - not sure what he means - any ideas?

If you're referring to me as 'gaydon', then 'gaydon' is located near Liverpool.

Ah, thought you were rhyming 'gaydon' with 'station'. I don't really want another project, I already have two on the go and I'm pretty broke at the moment.

its just a case of putting the head back on with a new gasket and she should be a runner, got some mot on it but it sorn'd its done 30 miles since the mot and that was the run back from the mot centre then been parked up but i needed a head for my daily at the time so swiped it but got another head since to replaced the borrowed one. Its a 2 speed auto 1169 cc there was next to no rust on it last time i had a good look at it as the previous owner restored it prior to its last mot ill find you a link to the old advert i had up for it and pm it too you if thats ok rather than hijacking you post lol

I still like that Civic, but don't want any projects though! Ok, I will do! What's the max you are willing to go? That's not me trying to 'trap you' btw.
