here you go then, rover P6 V8 exhaust manifolds, about as tight fitting as they come in cast form, for comparasion purposes an SD1 V8 manifold probally better flow from these but they are twin down pipe giving you the task of finding room four 4 pipes in an already tight space, and heres a link to a guy breaking a P6 v8, even got his phone number in the add, a pair of manifolds shouldent be more than £20 at most, not like they are in big demand is it

We got the engine mounted today, took 2 of us an hour to get the mountings lined up and the bolts in =/ Just got the screw the autobox mounts in tomorrow and the power/transmissions are mounted. Then onto the props and fixing all the suspension on.

Little Toe is up for sale.

If it doesn't see whole we will be breaking it for parts.

We just don't have the time to finish, it and I am getting fed up of working outside in the mud so it can stay warm and dry in the shed!

Edit: The ad is in the classifieds on here.

Hi all,
once more little toe is looking for a new owner, preferably someone who will finish it,
i did a horrible thing and bought it to use some bits from, so its now missing its axles, suspension links, shocks, front winch and wheels/tyres.

it is still a complete tube body with the 3.5V8 ben fitted mated to auto box and hilux transfer box, theres loads of random bits with it (wiring looms and general bits and bobs)

please don't let it sit here forever or end up in a scrappy, its had to much time and money put into it!

If no one wants it like it is, it would be worth taking the engine out, you should get at least £100 for it. When I was looking for one I couldn't find one for less than £200.

Don't know but the tcase and autobox might be worth something also.

yeah if it gets to that stage i will do that, just be nice to see it get finished! i just can't see i'm going to have the time to do anything with it my vit build is already getting longer and longer, i'd rather let it go now than sit around a year and start rusting etc,

anyone fancy a project? Razz

Just want what I could get for it if I removed the engine and sold it and scrapped the rest so about £250 Ono, sorry if this Is not allowed mods but I figured this would be a better place for it.

And if aniesigh is ditching those suspension links off little toe, the job would be very easy indeed Wink

22 pages of build over several years and it's been broken down and sold as scrap.

That's a sad day.

Hope someone raises it from the ashes.

aniesigh · Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2011 11:26 pm Post subject:

i didnt want to do it it just made financial sense for me at the time stop making me feel bad Evil or Very Mad

a few interested parties that can hopefully save it from a grave Smile

sjmadmodder · Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2011 11:29 pm Post subject:

fingers crossed it will get sorted very soon and out in the mud where it should be

DD · Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2011 11:29 pm Post subject:

sorry dude, wasn't trying to heap on the disappointment. Only posting that I hope we see it finished some day Smile

aniesigh · Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2011 11:31 pm Post subject:

no i took it how you meant it i was joking Laughing

anyway, little toe's future is looking positive, i want it to get finished hence ive not taken any more bits of it, its probably worth more to break and scrap but i only took what i could remove without making the rebuild process massive Wink

If I could weld and new anything about setting up suspension I would of taken it off your hands straight away , but I cant afford to pay somebody to reweld the axles and suspension Crying or Very sad

I even know of a rover V8 engine thats lying about in a mates garage that he has said I could of had
