Looking around i think we have everything we need cheers Doug
We have a 300tdi plus R380 and 1.6 transfer box, roll cage, 8274 with xp motor, competition bumper and steering guard, suspension, 5 simex tyres, a truck cab roof and series doors all lying about at work :dance:
The joys of working in the trade mate :twisted:

There is no set budget as such
The brief is to build a "pool" car for the staff to use as they see fit, to be classed as a standard car (open diffs, 1 winch) and to not cost the earth to create.
The base car (LR 90) cost £250.
The roll cage, winch, bumper, HD rear cross member, truck cab top are all take offs from Simons 90 (which is having a major makeover. The 300 tdi and box have come from a Disco we brought which was a scrapper. The transfer box we've had lying around for a while. The simex tyres are part worn take offs (again from Simons truck).
So its not costing a lot to make
The workshop time will be free because most of it will be out of hours and every one working on it will be using it from tome to time.
I guess the it will cost around £2000 to complete, which in challenge terms is very little money
:D
