the 2.7 saga!

[Jimbob]

In a nutshell I have a list of parts (and parts numbers) and prices of everything needed for the conversion. The local scrappy has had a 525e in for a few weeks now, but I wasn't prepared to buy it until I had the 325.
Adam went to the scrappy on Saturday and said it was still there, on Saturday evening I won the ebay auction that had the complete 325. Phoned the scrappy again on Monday to confirm to them I wanted it and it was only today that I've been able to get there (they're closed by the time I finish work) and it's bloody gone!!! They wanted Ԛ£90 for it which including removing it. This was about 30mins ago, I thought my life was over..

Where am I gonna find an eta engine now?!

..got a number for a guy from Adam who said might have one, he gave me 3 numbers to try, I didn't receive an answer with the first number so I rang the second one. They had me on hold for ages but finally came back and said they had one, result! But for Ԛ£150 this time - how unfair! My conversion forecast was already hitting high figures, this just bloody adds to it. Life goes on, and thankfully so does the conversion.

Every cloud has a silver lining mate... the one at trents might have been knackered, the state of the car didn't look so good!!

I'm sure you would have found one for less than 150 though!
