blimy, what a response.
guys, i am not, as ken says the sort that is comfortable in asking for help, just me i guess, which is why i have been a bit silent around here. however, biting the bullet a bit, and, wanting to keep driving a '6', i know i have in the end had to turn to friends for help.
as ken says, what is needed is a swap of engine from my red 6 to the black one. the slight complication is that the red is auto, the black is manual, so gearbox will have to be swapped as well. this does mean however, that if anyone wants an auto box that is working fine, they are welcome to it (torque converter too).
there will of course be other bits going once the job is done. i am gonna keep some bits and plan to keep the car in a garage and strip it over time, hopefully this will give me some bits to keep the black car on the road more economically, and pehaps be a source of bits for the club too, excepting those that help that have spares requirements, they will be sorted. however there will be a complete cloth interior going, its in excellent condition, almost like new with no rips, tears, ciggie burns etc. i will have two throttle bodies going too, as i will be swapping the one on the defunct engine as its a 'sorted' one. kyle is more than welcome to the old engine, but want to keep the power boost valve from it too. i also have a spare standard back box if anyone wants it.
as to location of job, i live in some flats with 3 garages behind (one of them housing the black 6). nice and secluded and we can have both cars next to each other as kyle says. i can hire a hoist, but will need to know what else i will have to sort prior to the job.
pam says that it would be a good idea to sort a bar-b-q too, to feed us??
the word grateful isnt really sufficient, but you know what i mean?
i already have a week booked off work, w/c 16/7/05, done before this discussion started, that or any weekend really is suitable.
guys, dont know what to say really,
rgds
Mike
