John K Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 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...)

John K Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 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...
