New frame?

[N*A*M]

I've been thinking about a full frame-off restoration on the Yella Varmint and I've found a some stuff a guy is selling (post '89 frame, wide track diffs, rims, springs, 5 speed gearbox, xcase, shafts, etc...) asking $1500. Pretty much everything but motor, body and some bits. Not bad so I'm seriously considering it. I'm begining to think that the Volvos would be best saved for another project so I wanna do up the Varmint as a learning project. What do you think about the frame deal?

what's wrong with your frame? The wt diffs would be good but if you're going to do an engine/gearbox conversion then the 5 speed is useless, the 1L transfer case with a rockhopper is a better bet, rims aren't expensive anyway and you'll probably be altering the backspacing anyway, springs are probably shot on a 13 year old car so you'll need newer springs. If it were me I'd try and get the diffs and that's it use what you have and get newer stuff for what else you need. I still think the Volvos are the go so i can buy the wide tracks. See everyone wins

How are the hood pins?

[OVERKILL ENG]

NAM don't tell me your having second thoughts. Put ythe VOLVO"S in and stop mucking around.You only have a few months before XRCC. Any way Grimbo wants the widetracks so I think you should give them to him That way the decission is made for you.

Listen to Sam, "Grimbo needs the widetracks, Grimbo wants the widetracks,Grimbo must have the widetracks" see all is good in the world

[N*A*M]

Ah... where would I be without you guys. In my time of self doubt, you give me a kick up the bum and put me back on track. Thanks guys!

Grimbo, give Stephen a call on 0438 351 400 if you want his diffs. The hood pins are perfect. Big up guvnor - thanks for the freebee!

[grimbo]

I will, cheers.

Nam put the volvos under your zook, or ill drive down there, take they off you and give them a good home

[bj on roids]

i will be happy to ship the volovs up here:

put them on my overweight rig
with too much horsepower
tyres that are too big

and cane the ring off them and tell you where they will break at!

[N*A*M]

Thanks for the offers boys but no thanks.

NAM you change your mind about what you are doing to the zook more often than you change your bloody undies!

Just stick with the original idea other wise it will never be finished and you'll have to sell you volvos for $500.00 because you spent ya money on other stuff.
