new fronty

[marlbororman]

Well, i bid on ebay on a b series with a blown engine, with the intentions of stripping for parts ( i needed the bonnet door and tailgate), to swap to mine and repaint blue, but upon winning the auction,and going to collect, i decided it was just too good to break, so have decided to swap all my bits over to it, then swap my engine over.

Its a 99V with same milage, but aircon too. :):) Everything is in mint condition, with service history,and mot till september.


Here comes the hard work :):)



and the auction http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=300245408680&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=020

Oh and it was only 5 miles from my house:):):)

The one on the right is my daily driver, didnt realise how lifted it was till tonight

Blimey, a bargain, including a set of spare engine ancillaries.

Enjoy the engine transplant.

Lol, so now i have 3 inlet manifolds 3 exhaust manifolds, 3 sets of injectors......You get the picture.


I got my own personal breakers yard now...

First thing is to get the engine out, and then body lift it. Then start fitting my extras in, Then need to renew a couple of brakelines that are slightly corroded (Might aswell get ready for next mot too). Then suspension lift it,and swap my wheels front locking hubs,and engine over to it, And i`ll have a well smart looking rig in tip top mint condition inside and out:):)

And should be able to recoupe what i paid for the old girl, just by shifting the wheels and spare wheel cover on Bonus

[marlbororman]

expert at engine removal and refittment....:) And body lift a a swb B is really easy, so to the suspension:):) Cant wait to get started to be honest, but full of manflu

Got all next week off work though (Hols) :)

r u sticking ur engine in it what engine if money wasnt a problem would be the best engine to put in a fronty sport on a n 96
your thoughts would be much appriciated

[marlbororman]

if i could get a good one, i would put the 2.8 diesel isuzu in. rangakoo on here did a 2.8 conversion in his 2.0 sport, think if you search he has a thread detailing the ins and outs of it.

[phil acko]
