We will be there, as long as it’s not too wet. Wouldn’t want to get my hair wet would I !

Hi, im new to westfields and pretty new to kit cars, im looking at a few cars, do we know what the first parts of the chassis number should be? SA9WSL is this live axle and I at the end be independent? Also any idea on the differences in chassis between sports 2000 chassis and the megablade chassis? So I could identify which it is? Many thanks

Keep going while the weather holds i had to go pet shop today to get a sack of grub for the koi of course such a large bag wouldn't go in my van so had to go in westie and go to the most distant pet shop out of 3 in my area.

Took it work today. Drove home in amazing red skys and ahem also kept a few cars honest 🤣

Yeah, the powdered stuff gives you a dry mouth 🤣🤣🤣

I hope you mean cola?

Meet at 10am, Cupola Cafe, Stoney Middleton, Hope Valley, S32 4TF for breakfast before heading off into the Peak District for a run out. Finish time will be early to account for the dark evenings. Weather dependant so please check on here before travelling. Members only.

I have removed this from a Westfield SEIW to install a full roll cage. £100 ono Please contact for more info.

Still not feeling great but a bit better, I’ll pop along might just be a quick hello and a glass of coke though

Yes😁

Is that a new water rail?

😁

You won't be able to fit it, as you have to slide it into the brake bracket then slide it into the clutch bracket.

Not done the clutch as it was play free, only done 8000 miles. I would just make a set screw if required rather than a stud.

Good work! Have you done all 3 pedals? I bushed the clevis pin hole in my clutch pedal as it had gone oval. (circa 35,000 miles use/abuse) I'm sure you're aware you can't get a bolt in the clutch pivot and you have to use a nut on either side of a bar with a thread at either end. Hence you need to remove the brake pedal to remove this stud. I'd love to fit roller bearings in the pedals,

To give you a guide, my son is a qualified painter for 10years, not painting much now, but as a rule about a year ago he used to charge around £350-£400 per panel plus materials, depending on condition. He would never just paint someone else's prepared car without doing his own prep. He's been caught too many times doing this and ended up re-prep'ing it all again. Youve no idea what contaminates are on the prep'd car until you start laying the paint on. Materials have also gone sky high. Example he's just bought 5 litres of paint, primer and sanding materials to paint his T5 van. It cost him just over £500 trade. So it's not cheap. You've then got spray booth costs, like heat and extraction etc. His partner is a vehicle wrapper, similar prices for day rates and good quality vehicle wrap is not cheap. She only does high end vehicles or custom work. Most people just won't pay the money these days, plus painting is not a nice environment to work in, hence he's got out of it now and only does smaller private or custom paint work these days. Hope that helps. TBH I think the green is lovely, nice cut and polish would make it gleam.

I have machined up some new peddle bushes and set screws as I noticed they had a bit of sloppy movement, side to side. Now the clearance is 0.2 mm so hopefully all play now eliminated. Also sourced a lovely carbon gearknob form the WSCC and have made an aluminium bush to fit. Type 9 gearbox shaft measured 12.3mm OD for reference.

Item now sold

Sadly not. The weather looks good (for this time of year) if you decide to go....

Always using a vacuum when I'm cutting/sanding/grinding, and if its a big job making a tent around the job to contain the dust. Cover anything that you dont want to make dusty, and always have a bucket of water and wet rag handy to wipe down as you go along. The vac only removes larger particles of dust, multiple passes with the wet rag is always required if you really want to remove the dust. It's very difficult to keep completely clean!

I’m first in the queue, I think he’s going to be my next best mate 😉

Shame you left your booster seat at home @Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO or you could have had a drive 😆

Careful, you'll make yourself ill 😁

I think it's fair to say Kasper has too much wonga and should give some to me tbh 🙏

I’m eating paracetamol and ibuprofen like it’s going out of fashion, necking throat syrup, munching halls soothers and gargling salt water to try n beat this sore throat, might be the last chance to get the Westie out
