Who's doing what?

Hello Scampers, I thought it would be nice to see who is doing what to their Scamp for the coming year?

The ZZR engined beasty is going for its MOT, and SHOULD be on the road in the springtime No point before, as it won't get driven (and there are other things that need my hard earned at the mo).
And the Audi Turbo is kindly donating its engine to Reg's Monster..... nooooo idea what year that will be finished though!

The long & short of it is we're both very committed to our jobs meaning we don't get much free time anyway, and then there are our other hobbies to fit into that space as well.



Still dedicated Scampers, just limited by time and money and we don't believe in borrowing either!
Elaine&Richard J AKA Reg.

Not a lot is the answer.

K doesn't need anything doing to it.

Can't spare the cash to rebuild Pea at the moment. Need to save cash and find time to build the extensions to the Bungalow this year (Conservatories don't work as Dining rooms!).

I shall give my Scamp a good coat of "looking at".......

Didn't know Jaguar did bungalow extensions James

The Yellow Peril 2 (my gt4x4) is still in the garage waiting for the gearbox to be put back in after I replaced the clutch last year when the weather was warmer bit of a job as Mclean put the Scamp body on the Susuki chassis without leaving enough clearence to drop the gearbox doh, a bit of snipping of the tunnel did the trick - Nettie has said she would help but it would be a shame to break those lovely long nails she has now. I bought a SJ1300 chassis to replace the SJ410 so I could fit a Vitara engine and a disc brake front axle but I can't see that happening. Its now sitting in the greenhouse out of the weather - it has a SORN'ed V5 ideal for anyone thinking of building a Blitz.

Florence is still on her side in the garage waiting for me to put her back together with all the shiny things I bought her such as a set of hi-lows, a set of minilights (that need refurbishing) some blue high back bucket seats (which a mouse has been living the last time I looked) - I turn the aged A series engine over occasionally with a large spanner and maybe this year she will be ressurected who knows.

Not much progress I know but lets see when happens in the summer.

2010 will be a year for doing all those Scamp (and other) jobs that i have not completed over the past two years , maybe.

Sort Scamp roof out,
Fit brake servo,
Remove Mini50/Scamp40 stickers and prob have to slap some paint on it, emulsion or gloss

Well here's hoping

We're hoping (again....) to get the Nomad on the road this year. It's moved house too many times and hasn't been touched since about April so who knows......!

Well Taz needs putting back together after suffering a gearing malfunction while green laning in November.

Engine is out, (Umm - retrospective request coming up! -Jono, please may we use your hoist again?)
gearbox dismantled and problem discovered; reassembled and rejoined to engine, pleaded for money for 4-pin diff, (think I've got my own way!) awaiting delivery of said item + a couple of other bits and pieces.

Hopefully engine will be back in within two weeks ish then... well, lets wait and see!

What, you didn't buy Lin one for Christmas? When's her birthday? I'm sure she'd love one....


Ok, maybe not!


Elaine.

Same as last year's job list (which I can't now find otherwise I'd have posted a link) only longer...

Er well actually, Elaine!
My Mum, gave us some money this Christmas to buy something nice for ourselves. In doing so, as Tony was not there at the time, she said to me - Lin - Make sure you get yourself something nice. So... you remember that 4-pin diff required....! (Tony says he will put a ribbon on it when it is delivered!)

So I'm afraid a hoist is out of the question!
