waiting for my chassis,no doner to rip apart,im bored
You can always give me a hand sunday,and bill is allowed in the garden now
AND you can come and help me once I sort out a day, this Sunday is Mothers Day, so definitely no go, following one is Detling/Box Hill, following weekend (Sunday pm) rest of family away to Spain for 12 days (LOTS of garage time, yeppie!) how about Easter Sunday????? Or will you have your new chassis by then?
What about taking apart "sweet pea 1"
Jason
Yeah good point Jasper.
John
cancel sunday i'd best take mrs bob out for din dins
out with young william tonight and i spied a seirra 2.0 I in a garden looking un loved,ill give them a knock morrow i think
so i knocked on the door,i am the proud owner of a 2.0 inj seirra for nowt
well done, always pays to ask, that already has a better flowing head than the standard ones, just thought i'd tell you in case you didnt know.
u lucky son of a biatch! LOL! the only donor i could find near me was a bleedin 1.6 Pinto for £100.
however i will be on the look out for a free 2.0l Pinto engine to rebild and tune once i get the room in the garage and my beast is up and running!
James
as u say dont ask,dont get,gota make my mind up to go carb or inj???
yea i asked everywhere mate just nobody was getting rid!
I would say get some twin sidedraughts on there but then again i dont know how much trouble it would be to swap it from injection to carbs.

James

If anyone thinks Jason is joking about getting this car on the road in a week or two then think again....!!!!
John, the pressure is on. You now need to take Sweet Pea 2 to Newlands Corner! If you do it's breakfast on me!
Andy - the optomistic one

It's given me a thought actually.
Remember that short film BBC used to show of London-Brighton in 3 minutes? It was basically a video camera strapped to the front of a train and played
at ultra fast speed.
Perhaps we ought to fit a camera up in Jon's workshop and film the birth of Sweet Pea II. It could then be played at fast speed and it'd be
like those wildlife programs where they show plants gowing in about 2 minutes.
Think I'll go lie down for awhile...

And before anyone says it- filming a build and then playing it at ultra slow speed would absolutely *not* be like watching mine being built! OK?!!!
Going to go lie down again...

No, don't be silly- I'm so bored at work that I've slipped so far down the seat I'm lying down as I type!
Unfortunately I can't fall completely asleep as senior management are nosing around.
James
I've found today that if I put enough boxes and stuff under my desk I can actually be horizontal and quite comfy.
The seat back acts as a headrest!
Could do with a remote mouse/keyboard though- cos arms are getting a bit tired holding them up to desk!
Cheers,
James
I've got a radio controlled keyboard and mouse - handy for when you have too many papers on the desk and don't want to dislodge it all when
putting the keyboard on your knees.
(not as much fun as a radio controlled car though!)
when you 2 have finnished hi jacking my post.ive now got 4 wheels on my wagon!

Serously though well done! cant wait til im at that stage! shoud be 2 weeks before i get my kit now
