Blimey, I thought my parts hoarding was bad enough, you trump me with your lude hoarding now! :lol:

It did look like a good buy, glad someone on here snapped it up. 8)

Some updates on parts sourcing (we are taking a leaf out of Nafe's book ;) )

Manual conversion kit sourced (just need the gear gaitor frame), master cylinder sourced - that was before the donor car was procured...

Since the donor car was bought, it has yielded a replacement power steering oil cooler.

So, one donor front end;
Image
De-greasing of all the spot weld lines to work out exactly where they are and which ones need to be drilled out;
Image
Centre punch all the ones that need to go (except for the ones you don't spot first time round :roll: )
Image
Lots of drilling;
Image
Image
Yes, including ones inside the front cross member :roll: (look through the hole)
Image
Ta-da!
