    check out my chevette build in the projects thread.

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

    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.

    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
