Mostly finished the exhaust. The rear section is only tacked until the diff goes in.

Did some more to the manifolds yesterday. Set up the bellcrank and 3 cables for the throttles.

The muppet that owns the car chopped up a spare subframe to allow the massive R230 diff to fit. Fits well, needs mounting plates welded in now. Then axles and driveshaft.

Labour wise it's costing him a couple of grand as it is a home/love job and I just need to give the wife some cash to calm her.
Parts wise, it isn't anywhere near finished but I would say 12k would do it.

Maybe Pendog could give me his email address and I can send him copies of all the invoices of the work I have done over the years. I am sure my customers would have no problem with that. /sarcasm

I like the oil filter idea.

Actually, I like the whole car/concept, well done.

Mate, you are asking the proprieter of a buisiness about his customers finances.

Think about it.

Of course, RX25SE is correct, but Pendog i think that jzk25 wasnt having a go at you, just a joke. Its Text for gods sake so much meaning is lost in translation!

What's how much it's costing got to do with anything?

It's costing about the same as any engine conversion, halfcut plus half a tank of fuel.
