Ah, Kim get's pulled out of the bed after nightshifts too... I know the feeling :-)
But Kim, did you get your parts by now? Haven't heared from you? I know how the post is, so...

 

I got the parts yesterday all i have to do is pick them up at the post office.
Once again thanks Bart

 

No problem, that's why we are there :-)
Got to help eachother out, so the Seven's keep rollin'.
BTW: gonna scrap the FC this week... Kept all parts except the body.

 

Is body strong or rusted? was in accident ? what shape are subframes in ? with my crashes, i am always running out of subframes (both rear/front :P)

 

I'm going to keep the rear subframe, cause I'm planning a Lotus Seven-inspired self-build car, based on the FC components. The front subframe is not yet saved from the body yet. But it should be in ok condition. The body was not to bad, a little rust, but could be saved very well (no accident). I just neither have space nor time for that. And since nobody wants to pick it up, I'll have to throw it away.

 

would one of you buy a 12A turbo manifold? i'm speaking about the standard 12A manifold. what turbo fits on it besides the standard? any ideas what to do with it?

 

cool, remember every single removable part is worth saving (door locks, fuel tank door etc..)

 

Yep, that's what I think too. Sometime it's the real small and stupid stuff that's the hardest to get. So I saved everything that was worth saving. I only threw away the parts that couldn't be used anymore.
I'm more of a SA/FB guy, as you know, and I know that some parts start to get difficult to obtain. So if I have a complete FC, I will make sure that all parts are kept!
So if anyone needs something: every part is for sale, and I normally sell cheap.

 

You sure do Bart youre the man

 

*In loud roaring voice* YES
Just recieved parts from the states, so my everlasting Project: Seven goes on.
I have bought:
Prothane PUR suspension bushings
Goodridge Stainless Steel brake lines
-//- S.S. Clutch line
And ar our local auto shop i bought Samco silicone vaccum hoses plus i got some leftover 6mm hose from Oliver(OC94Rx7).

My birthday is tomorrow and im working nights etc etc. so ill probably mount it all next weekend

 

Kim

Stupid question?

Why didn't you buy the Stainless Steel brake and clutch lines at your Automotive shop?

It would have save you some transport costs or not?

 

very nice parts Kim, where did u buy it and what did you pay for it?

 

Stupid questions requires dumb answers J/K

I couldnt get DOT approved brakelines at the local shop and i dont feel like swapping parts when i go to the car inspection.

Well i bought my parts along with some springs and brakelines for a friends 3rd gen and we paid 50/50 on shipping.
i bought the parts from www.corksport.com very cool guy lots of feedback

Total for the parts and shipping/insurance was 698$

I can buy springs at my local shop, but i better save up a few bucks since this one blew the bank---Kim

 

Hey! those springs and brake lines look just like the ones you ordered for me

Are you posting photos so I will pay you faster? if so?? it's working

Unfortunately, $430 of the $698 is what I owe Kim, my wife is working so NOW is a good time to smuggle the parts over!

Oliver

 

Happy birthday Kim

 

Indeed, Happy Birthday Kim!!!

see you saturday Oliver

 

HappyBirthday Kim ;o)

 

Happy birthday Kim

Got some progress piccys of my FB too ...




just fitted the rear shocks, might start on one of the fronts tommorow

 

Mike, your car looks real good! I hope I get mine ready soon. Once the weather becomes good I want it to be clean and painted.

 

Cheers Bart, I'm very happy with the paint job, just got to get on with the job of re-fitting everything now !

P.S the photos have stopped working for me

 

working again now ?????

 

Another + My 323

Its suprising how clean they look in the photos ... both are filthy at the moment

the camera has a nasty habbit of showing up the slight differences in the new paint (look at the rear 1/4 !)

 

Pics aren't showing up for me

Ren

 

Yeah, Happy Birthday to you, too, Kim.

I forgot to mention that my 30th was 4 days before yours. Man, I sure don't feel 30...
