Jolly Green Monster Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 my wagon http://www.jollygreenmonster.fotopic.net/p45438043.html which I have owned 7years and clocked up 235,000miles on the clock (bought at 78,000) and have spent many hours working on lost lots of skin to.. the other week it made http://www.jollygreenmonster.fotopic.net/p48745151.html I bought another scoob for everyday use http://www.jollygreenmonster.fotopic.net/p48745152.html and was considering stripping the interior and sound proofing from the wagon and making it a little more hardcore.. perhaps a cage etc.. although really it was now the wrong starting point.. the WRX would be better.. but I couldn't be bothered to take both cars off the road and swap engines, gearboxes, diffs, brakes, suspension at that point etc etc.. So when I managed to do this at Brandshatch trackday I actually was only concerned about engine and gearbox damage both engine and box are fine as far as I can tell.. So... today this arrived http://www.jollygreenmonster.fotopic.net/p48745154.html I have my work cut out but hopefully this week will start stripping the wagon and cleaning and preparing the new car inbetween mapping etc..

Jolly Green Monster Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 No more JGM wagon you never know I might rebuild it
tony_cousins Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 No more JGM wagon Well if you need a hand Simon, i got 2 spare !!!!!
dazzlers82 Posted March 2, 2008 Posted March 2, 2008 cant wait to see it finished simon if you need help an im free ill come give you a hand
Jolly Green Monster Posted March 2, 2008 Author Posted March 2, 2008 thanks guys.. not sure when I will be doing it tbh, looked at diary and march is pretty much full lol.. wife is not my biggest fan at the moment so weekend passouts are unlikely unless I want to sleep at the workshop... now there is an idea! number of things I would like to do will have to wait, like flocked dash, sound proofing removal etc.. engine and box, diff need swapping etc.. one fairly large task is stripping interior of new car as the engine is in pieces in the boot, the interior has been sold and the farmer style interior just loose in the car in exchange.. and there is a turbo on the front seat, some hideous gauge pod which will be for sale.. sure someone will love it also I think my facelift bumper and ally bonnet will repair to replace steel facelift on new car along with early bumper Simon
