What now....

#1 Post by 2F45T4U »

Didn't get my self a rusty Sprint. Bid up to £165 and lost out by £5. Can't help feeling a little bit releaved :P I did want it but I wanted it for cheaper than that, way cheaper!

Now I don't know what to do. I've basically got until summer before I even consider driving my dolly again. I want to do lots of work to it but I also want it to be a damn site faster.

What can I do? How much is a Stag V8 and gear box Phil :P

Adam

You could always just go for the sprint engine change option. Well documented by Alun (on my behalf) in the past and use your shell.. The bits should be easy enough to get hold of without breaking any others....

I don't need any more shells, but thanks for the offer! It was the internals I was after....I might have sprinted one of my shells with it.

Are you talking to me Mart? If you are wheres he stripping it? Because I can't see any point in him lugging it back to Bristol just for the engine and gear box. And then its moved from a mere 12 miles away to about 80!

And George get back to me about your Sprint bits!

Sorry David, I was talking to Adam.

Yes, he's taking it back to Bristol to strip.
