who fancys earning some money

[bigbened]

right then, soon'ish i will be putting an XE in my little 1.2 carb shell. I think its a bit of a big job for me so was wondering if anyone that had done it before would do mine, and i dont want to pay how much my local garage is asking.

it needs stitch welding aswell as dropping the lump in and wiring

anyone interested?

[stuartp]

were you located mate??

[bigbened]

great barr, in birmingham

[Ernie]

you best get out there now and start to clean the engine bay up ready to weld as can take age's and reveal hole's.Failing that have fun and get some pics up once sorted.

[bigbened]

there arnt any holes in the bay, allthough there are a few spots of surface rust appearing.......OMG lol

cheers mate

whats the difference between stich welding and seam welding? or is there not lol

[Ernie]

Not sure bud my Dad does all my welding for me.

[Adam]

Seam is just that, a continuous seam, its strong but has no "give" which is needed to absorb an impact.

Stitch is a stitch,Lol. i.e. a weld, then 1/2" gap, then another weld. As in ernies pics above.

does no one fancy earning some cash and helping a fellow nova owner?

[BigStan]

Why dont you buy one, pactise or get someone to teach you and then do it yourself ?

Thats what im going to do ! :thumb:

[bigbened]

i dont know anyone that has droped an xe in before, plus if i can find one cheap (who am i kidding) i want to drop the let in

[Austin_Nova16]

What is your definition of cheap? and can you transport the car?

[Paul]

fancy a trip to southend?

[bigbened]

i can transport the car yes as it is driveable. i dont quite know how cheap, cheap is right now because i will be aiming the conversion for october so i will have to see how much i can stash before then,

i would probably consider southend if it was the right price

[ste porter]

if you suply all parts i.e engine ect and consumables i can do it for around 350-500 dependant on what i have to suply and the time scale in which you want it done if your serious let me know and if you want to see some of the stuff i have done before check this link

[tom reid]

:gay: It would seem, that I am seen by some on here to be a corporation, trader etc, so if I'm going to be a company, I may as well be a company that does what it says on the tin, hence Bumshunters.
