340R Colin's Honda Conversion

[Scotty C]

About 5 hours all in i would say and thats including taking the body off.



Alan

get the hacksaw out

I can't do it, i know its easier but I just can't cut the body in half.

He will just have to take the body off to work on it, of course it will never break down.

Alan

I did mine, do you want me to come over and do it for you?

[Gourlay83]

I'm leaving it standard, it doesn't take that long to take the body off.

Think he is going to get it painted properly as well.

Alan

Alan

i.e. not dodgy blue?

I vote back to yellow with black flaps and splitter.
(Saffron Yellow, B106)...

[brian]

That's the same state as mine!
Body's off to fit the windscreen which has hopefully arrived in one piece via Nurburgring.
Scotty you have PM.
Cheers

Yeah, he's putting it back to that Colour. Of course my first choice was Burnt Orange with Carbon Fibre Tat.

You know, I stood outside for ages building up the courage to come in and break the bad news?!! Let it go, I feel bad enough as it is!

I think he is going to milk that one for a while

[Gourlay83]

She dropped an axle stand on the back of the car. What the hell was she doing with an axle stand in the first place !

[jen]

I was trying to get my suitcase out the boot, cos you tried but couldn't be bothered putting any effort in earlier and I wanted to unpack from the hen weekend so had to do it myself. The axle stands were in the boot but way so prevented me from angling the case the right way so I could get it out but I wouldn't have had to take them out if you'd taken it out for me! So it's all your fault!!

And, why on earth don't axle stands secure with that little bolt thing that keeps them secure when they're extended anyway?? Stupid design IMO. There.

Engine out this weekend. Had help from Craig and Alan Dickie which was much appreciated

It was easier than expected as the the many "Lotus Specailists" that have worked on Colin's car only left 3 bolts holding the entire body on.
