Stretched Limo with hydraulic dampers to get over speed bumps?

Believe me, I did consider going that route a few years ago when the 'er
indoors was on about getting a bigger car!
Luckily both ideas fizzled out.

Hi All

Just let everyone know, the Coupe that was on the Newark stand for
breaking is now tucked up safe in my garage.
I will take some time to consider it's future. It's a toss up between
1) restoring and selling on. 2) breaking up and selling the parts. 3)
turning it into a track car. Or 4) turning it into a 6 wheeler van.

Your thoughts ???

[Quantum Owners] Quantum 2nd hand values

2011-06-25 Thread Susan and Martin Scott
There's a simple solution.. All club members (space and funds 
permitting) buy up all the low priced Q's for sale on internet. Then we all ask 
a lot more for them with the added bonus that if any do sell then we make a 
healthy profit!
Reminds me of the housing market, which has only in the last few years crept 
down.

Seriously though, I'm convinced there is a huge difference between cars offered 
cheaply for sale, and good quality members cars which are not offered for sale.

Hi Eddie

Looks like the 'Eddie Ruskin Quantum Rescue Centre' has another
inhabitant!
As for what to do with it, being an advocate of the strange and
unusual, the 6 wheeler van would be a great way to go.
I do, however, appreciate that your 'To Do' list is quite long at the
moment!

Regards
Dave

Re: [Quantum Owners] XR3 Dials

2011-06-25 Thread Jim Hearne

I have a feeling somebody has.
If you want some XR3 dials i have a set from a XR3i with the extra 
warning lights.

Also the wiring and the module to run the extra lights.

I had the late backlit style sierra ones in the coupe for a while
which went in quite easy. I had xr3 dials in the 2+2 when it was first
built (back in 95) but had a mk3 escort dash in it too so doesn't
really count.there was pictures on here of both mods but i think they
were moved
