Hahaha..

Well, the other day I got a bit bored and looked for a Mazda RX8 to use as a donor for

Front and rear subframes complete with relevant brakes/steering/driveshafts/diff etc etc
Pedal box and master cyclinder
Steering column and rack
Wheels
Mirrors (maybe?)
Ignition switch
Handbrake and gearlever
Seatbelts and catches
Dash (may use some of it)
Centre console
Seats (both front and rear)
Gearbox/propshaft and flywheel/clutch assembly as I'm going to make an adaptor to join this box to the Lexus V8 - no idea how it'll last but all this is so cheap, who cares.
Wiring loom
Window motors/mechs and switches
Door locks and central locking stuff
Keys
anything I find that might be useful in bringing the Scimitar up to date.

erm, and whaddya know.

I won it :)

So, tomorrow afternoon, I hire a trailer and go and collect this:



As is usual, this has suffered rotor tip wear so the engine and rest of it will be going in the bin. Shame really, as they are quite nice cars but just not worth spending money on saving.

Hope to have some pics up over the weekend.
