all good intel, thanks guy's.
I know it sounds anal, but I like to plan the builds a bit in advance to avoid surprises..
I'm not *quite* ready to start as I need to sell my current roadcar before the funds are in, it's going in the press over the next couple of weeks also SWMBO tells me that i'll be stabbed if I fill the garage up with even more *junk* (her word not mine) before clearing the current *junk* away.
However, I do have a basic idea of what it'll end up like (building/running the Bobtail taught me a couple of hard lessons) and a budget to plan it to..
The starting spec has panned out to a 200tdi 3door commercial (or 3dr with the rear seats out but i'd prefer a commercial) with good inner wings, sills and boot. I'll have about £2000 to buy the car. From what i've seen thats not too far off...
I've already got a +_ 2inch kit, a 2"body lift, castor corrected swivels and a larger intercooler. The sliders,bumpers, and rollcage are next on the list but I may wait until I actually have the car before going to mad on those.
Watch this space,
P.S would it be okay if I pestered you all on the pro's and cons of Diff Lockers? I did'nt have them on the Bobtail and after changing more diffs than i've got fingers and toe's, I reckon a locker at each end is nessesary on this one....
I'll start another post after checking the FAQ's....
