check out my chevette build in the projects thread.

just the same as a kadette, only a kadette has a nicer front lol.

you dont have to have a manta axle, depends how good you are at welding etc, as you can make a ford english/atlas axle fit, and then use a type 9 gearbox and a conversion bellhousing.

Depends what power your going for, my mate darcy has built harvey (the blue ratish kadett)

Hit him up, as he has built it to take some decnet power:)

Dean did most of the fab work on the kadett, and i built the motor.


Darcys runs ladder bar rear,4ha axle iirc, omega box with hydraulic realease bearing spaced off by about 20mm to get it to work.


1 thing i would say is, fit a larger tranny tunnel, darcy wantd to keep the stock one in his but its been bashed that much a bigger tunnel would be mch nice. Bt to be fair it goes like stink
