AWD Turbo Clubman

Jimbo has started stripping a Justy we have, my car is going to take some time to fix & we want to do Coombe, so another project begins

Woah, that's a pretty tight deadline you've set yourselves. But if anyone can do it it'll be the original Justy-mini and weekend vaux conversion guys.

Good luck!

jerry....have you been at the red wine again
think we may have to change this part of forum to JERRY'S SUZUKI BUILDS

LOL, we can only try, but I think its possible, so much easier second time around. Today Jimbo & I did a full day on it, most of the cutting needed to the Justy has been done

I have ordered a tool for cutting the windscreen out, Jimbo does not want lumps of glass all round his workshop

Sticky back plastic and a hammer normally works quite well. Saves on postage costs aswell.

Oh, and you'll never do it in 4 weeks! lol.

Having other thoughts on this, the wife quite fancies using this one, an estate would suite her better, mainly due to the amount of shopping she does

Anybody got a cheap estate, does not need doors, windows, floor etc, I just need the main body & V5.

Hi Jerry,

You know you can move back your engine by 1".
Allan told me that there is a captive nut already there as if Subaru knew it!
So may be you can fit into round front with 4" extension!?

Cheers
