Nice find. How much is that setting you back?
Very very VERY nice find! :thumb:
I can't see why you want to put a red top in it? A 1.3 auto should be pleanty....
Its cool btw :thumb:
only 650 quid! good times i say
and count, did you mean you CANT see why,
a shuvit loon :) awesome :) get that xe in there lol
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
have found this for it. so that saves alot of faffing about!
Mate bought the same kit for fitting xe into his Capri but it looked far too difficult to use and get in the right place as tubes aren't profiled or cut to size.
We ended up making our own mounts using the original Capri ones.
cheers, i emailed the guy the other day. and he said, bolt the triangles to the block. weld the two parts to the chassis rail, poly bush in the small tube and bolt in the welded chassis part. then the thin longer tube is welded between the engine and the polybushed part. like ya say, you have to profile it your self.
im sure it will be alright :)
We couldn't find anywhere they sat nice on the chassis rail either. Ended up mounting it off the crossmember like the Pinto was originally.
Maybe we didn't mess about with them enough though.
ok thanks. any pics of it?
Don't think there are any on the net, i've just text him to ask him.
cheers mate any pics would be greatQuote:

Ill ask my work mate about that axle see what his got :)
How come the headlights are different? or are they just like that?

its a facelift, but tbh the earlier lights are better, as the later ones glass fall off.....

told you so ;) how is the front chassisleg and that area where you need to place the jack?
told me what? lol
and i havent loked at the underside yet. but from the general state of the car i am thinking its gonna be good :)
that there would be hidden rust :P
chassisleg and jackpoint are commen places, as is under the washerbottle.
btw, iirc youre going to need a kadett C GTE tank aswell.
ooo ok thanks. ill check those points when i can lay on the ground with out freezing lol. and i was gonna use a aftermarket ally jobbie for the fuel tank?
and im running twin 45's could i not use this tank?
this happens with novas aswell lol.Quote:

XE it :D
you can use that tank with a facet carb pump.
yeh thats what i was thinking. and i have to use the facet because this pump wont be strong enough to pump the XE?Quote:

in that case this tank is fine.
the pump on it now is driven off the engine, hence needing the facet, you will need a cheap regulator, ill find the vw tuners i use for them in a bit...:thumb: £23 iircQuote:
