Ok, based on the replies so far, I think it would be a bit diecy to try and do any more than 2 cars on the day with the number of people we're likely to get.
As regards what to do, I quite like the idea of sorting Andy's overdrive box, and reinstalling the engine of the new member's 1500. What does everyone think?

All I know how to do is take cars apart. It's the putting them back together I'm a bit fuzzy on.Phil wrote:See I'd love to come and help, but I really don't know enought to be of any use..

If you know nothing at all it's probably an even better day out. As long as you don't mind getting dirty you'll learn a lot about working on cars, especially if we get to do something like the engine re-install.
