not exactly
I'm saying it's a nut and bolt rebuild
I don't think any of you understand quite how serious this is. It's not a case of slap the engine in and all's done - it's a complete nut and bolt rebuild.
Focus people this is important

I'm even starting to ask myself if it's a nut and bolt rebuild now tbh! :laugh:
Might even be cinqotentialism?

Yup, still gonna be 16v and in the process i'm going to simplify the wiring and show everyone has just been making it difficult for themselves for years

Kinda needing the garage gone it's stored in tbh, finances are a a bit strained just now, asking myself if this will ever get done given everything that's been on and constant lack of time or whether to break what's left of it and sell the good bits on
It'd be a shame if that were to happen mate, but I guess you have to do what's right for your circumstances.
Maybe we could get some fix it days on the go in Dundee to try and get the Cinq going?

Stick a 8v back in and get it back on the road ... then when its on the road find a new garage to carry on this 100 year 16v conversion
but if you do sell Ill take the wheels off your hands (Y)

I don't have enough money for any bits just now, the lock up rent itself is proving a strain tbh, as well as the constant risk of it getting broken into yet again etc etc.
it comes down to that tbh. Putting out money every week is less money i have to buy parts, which means i need to pay more rent over time etc etc. and with limited time as it is, just not really viable.
it's not fitting things that's an issue.
we'll see how it plays out just now.

it doesn't just need an engine, needs gearbox, full suspension kit, lights, hub, driveshaft, mounts, rad and a tyre.... Off the top of my head to make it even vaguely road worthy again in 8v form.
it genuinely would only work out fractionally more expensive to 16v it given i already have some parts for the conversion!
wow , you rought git (Y) can you not sort something out with martyn and say store it at the unit ?
It's not Martyn who has a say in what's stored in the shed it's me
Unfortunately we're 70-odd miles away from Mark and the cost of getting the cinq up on a transporter is probably too prohibitive - never mind the fact I'm reluctant to store any more broken cars in there in case my work think I'm taking the **** and chuck us out
I'd love to help you out Mark and if we get Yellow mot'd and out of storage it might be a possibility if you can get it up the road. Sadly for now 2 centos in the shed is enough

It's ok, it's not really an option anyway due to distance, moving costs etc
all my options are local and involve spanners of some sorts

Ok.... A small update, not to the car as such, but all may not be dead...even though it's dead You'll see what i mean in time, aiming for a BIG update on the whole situation soon, it's probably not going to end up how many expect it will after all this time of nothing
However..... I am now breaking this. Certain parts are spoken for, but things like the Hormann bumpers front and rear etc are available
