£161 delivered next day. I could not believe how quick they made it - That cost was for a Heavy duty prop and included postage, painting & VAT.

I purchased it from North West Propshaft, this was the best price I could find. I believe a standard prop will be about £131

I still have my original Sierra prop that I was going to modify, but due to lack of time recently and working 11 hour days, I decided to spend out to keep things moving.

Hi Daz,

I am sure that when I am ready to fire it up, pretty much everyone I know will hear about it! LOL

Well, I need to modify the sump, sort out the alternator as it will not fit in the normal position (but I have a plan!) Modify & fit the injection air box, radiator, radiator reservoir, buy a fuel tank & temp fuel lines. Generally make a few brackets for engine bits like the ignition amplifier and sort out the loom!

Should I am for Xmas???? or the Exeter Kit Car Show?

V6....uuummm just the job for late night blast down the A30;)

Down the A30 to collect by bodywork! Hehe! I need a favour some time, I need to trial your seats. If you have some made before gel coat, could you let me know so I can try my Arse in it! Low side or wide I think?

I also need a nose cone and scuttle to mock up around the V6, I got a feeling I made need to commision you to make some custom parts? Don't be thinking ££ like I would! LOL Do you still have that other nose cone you posted a while ago? I think it may suit my project?

Oh I thought you were about ready to go, didn't realise you need grp. That nosecone has got a new home up at an RAF base in Oxfordshire.

There is a bloke up in Hull( i think) using a V6 motor and has my grp and sure he said it's tickety boo clearance wise.

So can you make another?

Vented one?...oh yeah no problem ;)
