Good basis for a conversion, i've always liked the clubby estates with silly engines in ;)

Looking forward to see what you do to it.

[1989flame]

Yeah it is i bought it from him nearly 2 years ago now

[charie t]

and getting a decent engine at last, and with gary's old subframe?

well done on work so far

[1989flame]

Yeah its that one its the first clubman fronted one ive ever liked , i bought it withe the intention of putting a roundnose on it , but with time it swayed my ideas , and it is garys old frame well spotted

[charie t]

That will be brilliant when its done

[1989flame]

wiring is dead easy once you get you head around it

What is your time scale?

[1989flame]

End of this month ideally to get running and mot'ed

[1989flame]
