Could 'we' build a Westie from our spares..?

Reading the posts where people have obviously got 'upgraditis' pretty badly and a healthy 'For Sale' forum, I got to wondering if we collectively had enough bits to make a Westie...

 

Just for giggles shall we declare the parts we have got sat on shelves in garages and sheds and see how far we can get?

 

I can start with a brand new set of Chrome 7" headlights (not much I know...)

2 xflow alternators

Various propshaft ends length would need work though

I managed to forget* I've got a 4 speed Ford gear box suitable for a XFlow engine

 

*In my defence its away being reconditioned...

 

So with Meakin's alternators, it looks like we are going down the 'mighty' route - good as we will need less elektrix to make it go...

I have also got an overweight driver. 

 

Thanks, but that's one area that I think we will have no shortages :d

we could build a car from bits and then offer it to servicemen to run in the speed series :-)
