Nothing wrong with a Sierra for an Unders banger meeting Jamesy.

 

Fair enough, they aint the strongest on the front end, but the backs aint too bad (better than a poobirds) an they handle well.

[Guest Trash]

And most importantly they are RWD which means you will have fun on the bends instead of pushing on (yawn)

Although, the site might not be very useful for searching for actual parts, I remember last year at some point, my dad got me to put in a request for a fanbelt tensioner for his Megane, he has since sold the car and we still haven't gotten a response to the request

Ripleys in Hastings is obviously closer, but its not very good.

http://www.gwbridges.co.uk

 

A lot of his cars are sourced via his contacts. He was doing a deal with BoxerJack on Astras last year. Cars like the Roller and Limo were all paid for by the TV Companies for renting out on shows like Vroom Vroom, Top Gear and Ant N Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway. Once finished with we can then race them.

 

As for 3 or 4 a week, thats a slow week, lol.

 

The last 2 weeks over 12 cars have come out of the workshop, including 5 or 6 for the Ipswich charity team meeting as well as 4 or 5 metros.

 

The best we wver did was build 11 cars in one week, half of those were to promote the flatout video game at Wimbledon.
