Just picked up my new bodyshell :D

where u source the linkage mate

Looking at finishing it for the 2008 show season as I've got my wedding to sort this year.
Going to spend a bit of money on the engine & box to get them as good as the thest of the car;)
Found guy selling GE quickshift on a rally website, just dropped lucky as I don't go on there much but I saw the ad the afternoon it went on and I snapped it up straight away for a bargain price. Its hardly been used!

TBH i thought although a improvement on the standard shifter the quality of the griffiths engineering one is not all that great. The rose joints they use as standard are **** and as for the plastic bushes they are total ****e.

Lovely ,totaly lovley...:thumb:

I heard that the early ones they made were a little fragile but this one seems fine, at least its fairly easy to replace the rose joints etc.
Oh and there isnt any plastic bushes!

All the griffiths engineering ones are fragile. They have now cahanged the design of them.

Yeah, they dont make them any more!

First time I've seen this thread and am absolutely speechless......

Fantastic!

Its a bit quiet on the Sport project front so I'll treat you to some pics of my other toy. Its 888 number 9 which I bought nearly 2 years ago with 1440 miles on the clock, its now in storage over winter & it has only covered 4200 miles so far!!! Recenly given it some TLC with Maguiars Clay & 3 stage cleaner/polish/wax system.
Cant wait til spring to bring it back out.
