Any chance of some pics Rex ? also how difficult/expensive was it to do ?

I can see Nigel missing out on his Christmas Dinner…

22

Did you check with the LOT guys Chris ?

23

Asked the question Dave but no reply yet

24

Hi Chris. I will let you know when its 100% complete. The hardest part off the conversion is to gain approval from the MSA and my race series Scrutineer.

25

I spoke to Graham at plans today, he reckons he can do the complete job for �2k…seems pretty reasonable to me

26

Not quite as cheap as mine, cost so far excluding my labour 1 Bearing assemley �28, Short length off aluminium angle �5, both off these items you will not require. Brake pipes reflared by a mate �0, Some welding to lengthen the intermediate coloum and shorten my steering coloum which is a straight peice off tube �20. 1 extra universal joint which i am trying to beg and whatever it takes to rebuild the dash with materials i have laying around. Rex.

Hope Nigel sues you for unfair/constructive dismissal*!

  • And sexual discrimination - I’ve heard you call him a [censored], on more than one occasion

Nah that was George i called a [censored] after he forgot to re fuel in between races and i ran out
He’s now looking for a job if the vvr team are really desperate

31

Did you check with the LOT guys Chris ?

Had an e-mail off Jez Braker about this Dave, sounded positive but cant get a definate answer until after crimbo, he did say we may incur a weight penalty though

32

…if the vvr team are really desperate

Never a truer word…

Britcar is quite flexible really… in LOT we will be just doing a few invitations but they are more strict. Technically being a Motorsport car it shouldn’t be eligible full stop.

Looks like you got the job done Rex before i got back to you, nice one.

Hi Chris,
Pictures now avaiable, see links below to access them.
Could somebody please post them on this side.
Many thanks.
Cost of conversion about �150 but no labour charge done it myself! Not very difficult, second time around would be very easy!IMG]http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv48/rexstamp/P2070064.jpg[/IMG]IMG]http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv48/rexstamp/P2070062.jpg[/IMG][image]http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv48/rexstamp/P2070081.jpg[/image]IMG]http://i668.photobucket.com/albums/vv48/rexstamp/P2070067.jpg[/IMG]
