Need access to std zook parts in T'ville for RWC

Guys,
Just had a chat to a couple of people up here about getting my Zook roadworthy and it looks like it is going to be a pretty big engineers bill if I leave it as it is. In light of this I am looking for someone that is willing to let me borrow the following items for a couple of days so that I can get the RWC:

Sway bar and mounts
Seats
stdish tyres (probably around the 29"-30" mark)

I also have issues with the spidertrax disc brake conversion on the rear and a 2" body lift that I may be able to talk my way around so if anyone knows of a good place to take the old girl let me know.

Cheers
Paul

P.S. There would be at least a couple of cases of beer in it for the person the lends me this stuff.

DEWSE,
Yeah I am an engineer which means that I know that the mods are good but I don't have my CPeng qualification yet which means I can't apply to be a signatury with the DOT yet.

Mud4b,
That might still have to be an option. I am going to try and play the IEAust Member with the local engineer and see if he will do it in the cheap if I do up all the paperwork. Failing that it looks like I will have to do some scrounging or have a chat to you. I will be down that way over Chrissy so it may have to wait till then. As for the bundy the black or the green???

Cheers
Paul

Hey Paul

I have a set of std tyres and rims you could borrow and I might have a set of std buckets after this weekend I also have the swaybar and mounts in the shed. Let me know if you want to use them. I'm at JLU workshop.

Ben,
I thought that was your car over there. I am at the CSSB Wksp just around the corner. Sounds great though, I might have to take you up on that offer. So what do you drink?

Just a little off topic but i have the GTI seats in mine if you want to have a closer look. Just give me a call and you can drop over.

I also have a spare gti computer and all of the wiring diagrams!!

Hey Danny I fit the seats to my original runners. The wiring diagrams would be a big help. We're going away this weekend but I'll catch up with you next week theres a few things I want to have a look at with the engine.
Cheers Ben

I hopefully will have my little beast regoed by then. I am having some problems finding someone that is willing to do the RWC for it though and it is giving me the shits. Might have to give Luke or Jake a call to see if they have any ideas.
