Post Major Rebuild
OK Guys

After my little incident at Curborough I have two options open to me. Either I sell the car as is for somebody else to rebuild as I simply don't have the time or it's time for a major rebuild........if I go down this route then it won't be going back together in exactly the same way!

So I'm open to offers for the car as is............or............

All the running gear and engine/transmission is up for grabs so shout up if you need parts else they will be going on ebay. What we have available is as follows (when I say new I mean fitted for 6 to 12 months only):

Front End

Pair of new front brake callipers
Pair of front disc (never fitted)
Front pads (never fitted)
Steering rack with new ball joints
Front uprights with discs
Goodridge braided hoses
New Mini Spares adjustable lower arm set with HD tie bars (MSSK3008)
Fuel Tank (GTM)
New Brake Master Cylinder
New Clutch Cylinder
Spax Adjustable Dampers
Hi-Lo's

Rear End

Subframe
Minifin Drum setup with new wheel cylinders and brake shoes
Goodridge braided hoses
New Mini Spares adjustable lower arm set with HD tie bars (MSSK3008)
Spax Adjustable Dampers
Hi-Lo's

Engine

1275GT with 1.5 roller rockers, Hif44, Minispares rocker cover, new distributor, new alternator, fresh big valve head with new stem seals, double valve springs. Bores are good as I only just fitted the head!

Loose items that were to be fitted:

4.1 Final Drive
Kent 296 Cam
Dellorto DHLA 40 with correct jets etc
5.5 inch manifold (gas flowed)
Big Valve Head - removed for refurb but well gas flowed

Interior

Corbeau Forza Sport Seats (pair, grey black) with custom no adjustable sub frames
Pair of three point harnesses (red)
Roll Hoop
Inertia Belts and receivers (red)

Misc

4 x 13 inch Alleycat alloys with new tyres - both in very good condition

The throttle stuck open in second gear - it wasn't a fast impact but the front leg of the sub frame on the passenger side dug into an earth bank and I discovered how much strength the tub has in offset impacts...............not a lot!
