Bloody hell Paul, you are a devoted man to the cause of xm's :)

Its good to see you doing a car for yourself though...how's the paintwork? Not that's even a factor at the moment :P

I thought you were doing up the 24valve for yourself?

There a bit of a difference here vince. 24v is a weekend car.... which is not good enough. I want an every day car so this will have to be it.

Body paint is good. Laquer lifting on offside wing BUT i have a perfect one.. but all will be seen. The main thing is... she dont need welding .. yyyyyyyaaaaaaayyyyyyy <jumpig around waving his arms around> !!!!!!

That looks in great condition as a starting point.

I wouldn't bother doing an auto to manual conversion as it will cost and with that mileage, won't be worth any extra. If the gearbox is duff, I have a good one.

Theres NOTHING wrong with the box, its TOO also had a rebuild at about 200k, so only done 44k. It wont cost me ANYTHING to convert it...!

The conversion is more of an Economy thing. But Ill see how I get on in auto form first.

They're lovely autoboxes are...nothing to worry there..... :twisted: :? :lol: ahem.....
If you do do a manual swap, I would personally be very interested in how that is done.

That's great news it doesn't need welding too. You'll be sorted out for next years XM anniversary too.



I'm very tempted to have that autobox off you Will, as a sort of security measure...but ahhhhh. I don't know! ;)
