Pete I can make you a 5spd avant prop shaft, I got the rear section from the Avant prop and the front section off a CQ prop, any use?

It has definately been caught on the drivers side inner wing but the outside wing is fine so i'd hazard a guess as you say it was before you owned it.

Nope

He is funding it but tbh we have around 85% of the parts we need, so progress is going well, had another day on it and with me sourcing bits I can pretty much find everything we need currently.

That would be very usefull mate, very interested in that, next time that we work on it (two weeks time) will be when the rear suspension and diff gets fitted up, its all in one piece atm just we ran out of time and need to get some springs on there at the same time.

Few more pictures today not the best in the world but thought i'd upload them anyways







In the above picture we've moved the car around to help with access to everything and started fitting some of the interior panels. The rear suspension is all built up apart from springs and a new handbrake cable (how come everyone cuts them off, are they really that much of a pita to remove in one piece ) new rear arm on one side to replace one that had some grinding action to the thread. Shocks swapped over onto this setup.

Jobs for two weeks time, remove the handbrake cables from both sides and on the car and fit a new one, remove the old brake line as yet again something else that has been cut. Re-fit the rear suspension/subframe then fit up the rear diff with heatshields.

Following this it will be trying to get the gearbox with prop on so that is on and out the way, then arranging when we can go get the engine from the donor car and then the fun starts with re-wiring.

Does anyone know what the order of wires that are fed thru from the interior into the engine bay are? We have around 5-7 holes that wires/cabling is fed thru but not sure what goes where and would like to get it done right first time. The abs wiring has been fed thru the top hole so that it had the length to plug in etc.

3b crossmember is there as a temp measure just to help with lining up of stuff. I'll write a bit more later on tonight when i'm back online.

yes the handbrake cable was an absolute dogs cok to remove hence me chopping it
