or my father-in-law has a 4.0 cherokee but would probably cost just as much in fuel as an engine transplant in the coupe!!

Wahey Dafydd! "I love it when a plan comes together"

Less of the drama Pinin, its cheesier than a block of mature cheese.

I can pick it up if needsby but i fccccuking hate drivng through Wales in the truck, and it will cost you so if you can sort something then ace.

I'll get it there somehow mate, I'll push it if needs be Hope coop doesn't get scared seeing all the massacred coops.

LOL queue the A-Team music!!!
surely all it needs it some welding and some gaffer tape to get it running!!

It will be there with just one other mate, got no more

just spoke to my mate who's mate does have a car trailor but probably wouldn't lend it to me but would lend it to him and he said he would tow it for you, for a price of course but i'll work on him, he's my sister-in-laws boyfriend and it's him who has the nice transit.
he's spot on with cars too and knows what he's doing so would be great for loading it on aswell!!
he's gonna let me know tomorrow!!

Work on Him, Dave! see if you can get him down to £8.76 and a pack of pork scratchings!

make it a truckers brekkie and you may have him!!!

he's a sound bloke, he's currently got about seven vehicles!!!
the transit, a three door cossie with a 2.1 pinto, a p100 pickup with the cossie engine in it, a mark 1 escort, mini cooper, sierra xr4i and a couple of bikes!!

Great, see what sort of money we're talking (shoestring, budget comes to mind!!) and that's a possibility. Nice work Dave! and congrats on your new TV channel, I'm loving it.

Tell him there's a xr2 mk2, mk3 fiesta Rs & probably a Series 1 he can have a peep at when he gets here

he'll probably come down to see the series one!! he's an RS nut, not long got rid of a mk xr2.
always fancied an rs fezza myself to be honest

Your coop will get scared when it sees the road, It's probably got Agoraphobia

Ok, granted

well, i've obviously been away from this thread for too long, i was going to offer to give you my lottery winnings towards this nice little project, but hey, you seem to have sorted it all out. nice one lads, can't wait to get me one of them fiat coupes and join this party for real!!!

p.s. i only got 3 numbers on the lottery, you do the math!!!

/\ snap!

Don't say that word on a coupé forum

No pushing at the back, now.....

Just read this thread, good luck with it all pinn, i know how you feel my car was off the road for about 3-4 months and it was horrible to walk past her every morning and get in a m reg Renault Laguna looking back her puppy dog eyes in the rear view mirror as you drove off..... Any way good luck....

yeah good luck pinin, mine's been off the road since Feb

It's going to Carlt in the new year, just get christmas out of the way first. I'm excited!

Cool matey ,think she`ll be up for Big Coop Meet 3 once Carlt`s got her fettled? .

Baz

still trying to sort out the trailer with my mate!!

Cheers Dave! won't be till after xmas anyway. I'll be up for as many meets as possible once she's running, I have a lot of catching up to do!

Come on Carlt! coop's looking restless outside, in fact I can hear it whispering in my dreams "I'm lonely! I miss the road" ...

I suppose in the thread title you didn't actually state *which* Christmas you were aiming for

Nah it's gotta be this one... gotta insure her by end of feb or I lose my 5 year's no claims

Better start saving if you are off to Thailand too

Errr.... i thought you held on to them without renewing the policy? It want's to, else im screwed and have lost 7 years NCB because the coupe hasn't been insured for the past couple of years
