Thanks Guys, Heres a couple more pics I snapped quickly on Sunday to give an overall idea of whats needed:
It is very solid really, and most of the bits and pieces were in the back of the T5, including a lot of the nice hard to find parts, luckily the previous owner had done a lot of the tracking down of these bits already! It has had a busy life though, and there is some accident damage in the front end that looks like its been repaired by beating a goat into it repeatedly, not succesful. Lots of wobbly bits all around it too which calls into question the possibility of painting it really, but it is what it is, if it is going the shiny paint route I reckon that makes it around 3x as much work to get everything straight enough to merit a reflection. Hoping to get a bit of time this weekend to be able to work out what parts I have available to go into it, and work out what I need to buy, and maybe which direction I will head in with it... Ljay, probably more sitting in it making crash gearbox whining noises if truth be told!!
