what are you like

[Neil]

all floor matts are the same so the hole must be something like,but all mounts are not the same pending what make of box is in it

[BROWNYS V6]

cant remember what mat looks like all im seeing at the moment is rust

[BROWNYS V6]

i have spent the last couple of dinner times at work sorting out my front panel.i managed to scrounge a scrap front panel off a good friend the other day, i have been drilling out spot welds to end up with this


as you can see mine is a bit rusty




but the rest is good so once i've put the good bit on the top it will be usable

[madmark]

mate looking good ,keep it up i am enjoying this thread

[mr Grimly]

Nice work Mr Browny, gotta make the best out of what you got, panels getting harder (and more expensive) to source.

[BROWNYS V6]

just a bit of an update,seeing as i haven't touched it for ages,had a bit of a play today just a bit of ride height mock up
these are the size of wheels i was hoping to use standard on the front 7's on the back

and these are my bosses new wheels for his sierra rally car 18" speedlines

oh and i also had 207 kg of taillift weights in the front footwell and doorstep to get it where i wanted it

[auldy]

nice work mate! just a quick question,i see you mention you are fitting a type 9 5 speed g/box? is that the same as a type 9 that fits behind a pinto in a mk1 escort? my mk2 transit has a 2.0 pinto,would the type 9 fit in my mk2 transit?

cheers,auldy

[BROWNYS V6]

yeah a type 9 will fit in ur mk2,cos i had one in my other mk2 but if you have a car one it moves the gearlever back about 15 inches,which if u have a twin seat on passenger side u cant get reverse and u need to modify the prop.
