- i was sort of taking the p1$$ (would no way expect people to do this for free, and I don't have a welding proficiency badge 
), but the rear arches need doing on our SC... and then obviously respraying after... 
- i've just realised that this *may* conflict with a rather important date.... some of you may have sore heads

I can't give the final go-ahead for the club booking without knowing we can get stuff there.
If soemone want to look into hiring one, then thats great
Happy to organise and help out. If its arranged properly then I can always do a circuit to pick stuff up. You'll get a 4AGE in the back of the Surf - we got an MZFE in there! I don't have anything as special as a Hilux (!) but a week ago I managed to get a washing machine and fairly large CRT in the boot of the Pug no problems - and the boot door closed too! So as I'll most likely be coming in that and seeing as it looks as though someone else can supply the crane, there'll be plenty of space in my car if needed...- do students get any discount in case we can't get the free ones? 
(approx 1' sticking out)..
£100 ish for pick up on sat and drop off monday fora short wheelbase transit type. and picking up all the display stand stuff and driving to the show. I also may have access to a projector and screen and some videos of mk1's going round a track. This is being done to display the work for my university motor club, but there is no reason why it cant be used here aswell.cartledge_uk wrote:Van hire is looking about
If everything falls through I am willing to hire one and drive.

I'm also happy to set stuff up and am working on a pictoral display of the work i have carried out on my car for a large poster.
it makes sense to hire a van from lough, if poss (if no free alternative) as the display boards are in lough.- brill - yes please! (you could always do a small 'plug' for your college)(whichever it ends up being) will need to have a comprehensive pictorial and text display to fit on at least 1 huge board, maybe 2(this is why i considered the mr2 only car, as they have loads of photos and writeup already, and they could prob print out all their own display stuuf) - i'v enot approached steve yet as i wondered if people would ant a different car. the options for cars are (please edit):- Preparation work prior to respray / changing T-bar seals - Turbocharging his 4AGE engine! / engine swap / fitting new front wings / tidying up rear wings - Welding (what needs welding Anna?) / respray +/-(if people want me to ask steve) As far as tidying the rear wings up what exactly needs doing?

Fitting new front wings is doable as well IMO.
Trouble is tho, that this car also needs the fuel pump changing and as such wouldn't make it there under its own steam and i do not have access to a trailer. 
, that i can get there easily. You've seen it Chris, its not the prettiest car, but i still have lots of trick parts to fit to it for the track. I have a full set of polybushes to go on if any one fancies me bringing along a real challenge

Already on it, got a mate who works for enterprise rent-a-car/van. Chris is not going to need his anymore and I wanted it for my car. Not sure how long that takes to fit though....Tiamat wrote:An alternative project is the removal of my waxstat and the fitting of a manual choke.
I'm not particularly experienced or anything - I can make tea, or polish spanners, erm, or something
