Mmm, a funny one this one, we are in an unsettled period of showers cropping up anywhere, anytime and unpredictable. I am being my ever optimistic self and posting this meet at QUACKERS 10AM SUNDAY. Let's see how the next couple of days go and hopefully we will see you there. Check here for an update before travelling please.

I’m interested…Is this still for sale?

Hello Dave, Good spot. I checked my snaps of the bits. The VIN is very abbreviated but is the same on the V5, I think it implies that the kit came from the factory in '92. Looks like a long time to first registration, either because it was used unregistered for a long time - or took an age to build. Best, Geoff aka NotMcGoohan

Swapped to a smaller denso type a few years ago and got these for the normal pinto alternator if you want them.

@BRJ has this about a year ago IIRC

I can feel the joy from here! Like being reunited with a lost faithful old dog

Yes that’s it !

You don’t mean Q98MDV do you?

That's BRG not WRG. WRG is much darker. People often think mine is black

@Andrew Bennie

Have a great day @Bananaman 🎂🍺

I have for sale my old Westfield Sport Seats. Blue with yellow piping They have a few marks and need a clean up. Piping is damaged on the nearside passenger. I was toying with the idea of getting them upholstered, but in the end I bought some new hard shell Seats that suit my needs better. Rails are included I can get some more pics next week as going to be away for a few days. Please let me know if there are any questions 👍 £200 ono Collection only

Permission to blame you if it rains and we all get wet 😃?

Hi I have just watched a two part You tube video of a Westfield SEiW in yellow , reg Q98 LDV that I am pretty sure I built back in 2005/2006, unfortunately I have no photos etc and memory not so good, but if anyone knows if the car is still about, I would be pleased to hear from you. If it was the one I built it was in Somerset.

Those photos look like '90's Kit type bodywork, not 2000's onwards ZK bodywork, not necessarily a problem other than not having been made for 25+ years, but does make me wonder how much else may be much older than you may think. Then again, the price isn't outrageous either for a V5'd car. But deffo one for very close inspection of what you're getting.

Since I've messed up and can't make the 6th, I'll be there on the 20th.

Hi Richard, I did examine as much of the chassis as possible. There are areas of grey primer which may cover repairs. As the entire project was (is) stacked on a trailer, having been "evicted" from the barn where it resided for 13 years, I was not able to measure diagonals or twist. The suspension pick-up points and removed wishbones seem to be OK but again, I was unable to make a thorough check. There are two complete sets of wheels and tyres, a set of Team Dynamic Motorsports allys with Toyos and a set of Compomotive allys with Avon Turbospeeds... none of which appear to be damaged. For anyone (not me) competent with GRP repairs, the body panels seem repairable. The extent and location of the visible damage not giving much of a clue regarding the accident. If I had taken the project for myself I would have completed the tear down to a bare chassis and blast cleaned it to reveal any issues. With the right fixtures trueing the chassis (if required) would not be too difficult. (I had to completely cut, shut and gusset a Dutton Phaeton many years ago as nothing was square - and that was from the factory!) It would have also allowed me to mod the chassis to independent rear and build it with an MX5 NC 2 litre Duratec and 6spd drive train transplant. With modest tuning that would deliver 230+ bhp - free from MOT test restrictions as the V5 is a Q plate. Hope that helps? Geoff, aka NotMcGoohan

Yes, the more I think about wearing a helmet in a fully caged car, the more I think HANS is a good idea. That being said, drive well within limits and we should all be hopefully accident free 🤞

Hi all, Thank you for your replies. @NotMcGoohan Do you know if the chassis has any damage? Cheers Richard

INAUGURAL WESTFIELD XI MEET UP Looking at the number of people available to meet up on the two dates, it looks like: 6th Sept: Possibly 2 (including me). 20th Sept: Possibly 4 (including me). Any objections to scrubbing the 6th and going with the majority for the 20th, to save me two trips along the A41? Cheers. Morris.

Hi Richard, Was offered a 'barn find' SE1 a few days ago. Kit is 2009, registered in 2012 and has 80'odd miles on it. Was substantially stripped in same year following an excursion through a hedge! Has 2.0 Pinto and 5 spd box. One piece rear tub complete with both clamshell and cycle front wings. All component parts seem to be present. Nose, bonnet, sides and wings all have degrees of damage. Located on Worcs/Salop border. Owner asking £3200 (I'm sure there is wiggle room) Has V5. I've turned it down as my current (see Green Westie topic) 'The Prisoner' build is yet to be fully finished. Shakedown at Castle Combe revealed suspension issues!

My 2000 SE is in original Westie Racing Green. Nose has been refurbed! Was a Bangers & Cash purchase 30 months ago with a cooked Kent engine. Intention is to dress it as a 'The Prisoner' copy. Engine build by Aldon.

I have my coolant tank for sale. made by colin at Aluminium Fabrications 2 years ago, but i now have a different setup, so this is no longer required. I think the tank he copied (dimensionaly), was the fiesta mk2 but I could be very wrong. I have attached a pic of the original so you can compare. It has a 22mm feed and 8mm bleed. The Cap not included and is dependant on you engine running pressure anyway 👍 Cap to fit this is the 1/4 turn type I would like £60 collected or plus postage.

Hedtec also sometimes offers even better prices for set of helmet and Hans . Worth to metion that car helmet worth to have Hans mounting points. Free in case of hedtec.
