You'll have to measure the ball joint holes on both hubs. Never tried It, but would be good to know for future cars , so that I can run standard track but better brake and suspension

its rwd already ;)

dents are easy. my boss has just rebuilt the whole front end of a ford KA..... anythings possible. your front cross member looks in tacked , would only need that side jigging back out ( rachet chain, and something sturdy to jack off, pull it out and done , wont look minty mint but the headlight...

ive seen damage like that jigged back out :) i would say have faith and pull it all back out, but its allot of work.

Looking good ! Keep it up :)

Can do. PM me

Was gona day loz, I could of done it for you ( only in nuneaton )

simple said simple done, don't want to travel to oxford? .... don't kick up a fuss. the location is actually quite central. + yes, maybe a track day at Bedford or where ever is on the same day... no'ones forcing people to come to this night out. keep on topic people!. genuine interest to keep...

fred will be busy to the hills with work. you'll get through eventually :)

yupp, same for me ' ish' mk1 with mk2 wide track, and rear track upgrade ( 172 hubs ) mk2 dti engine and box on mechanical injection ( tweek and reek! LOL ) well if all goes to plan and i get it, i'll get a thread going once ive gone over it, ordered nearly everything i need. i canna wait!

i might aswell do the lot , as im gong to convert it to a rather special diesel ( i know defeats the object but the outcome wont be ;) ) do all the work once and properly, hopefully another 15 years left in it :D yeah i agree, starting to get bord of ' its a ph2 mk2 ' nearly all the same...

admiral wanted allot more for renewal with me last year. got a cheaper quote from the online, gave ref number and my new policy was considerably cheaper than renewal lol

off c16v. both rear arch's shot, and both sills, probs allot more needs redoing on it, but i like stuff like that!. certainly floats m boat more than my mk2 dci does... :o

yup, talking to the chap now, needs allot of work and a vosa check after ( insurance being insurance wrote it off for a fairly large dent just to the door ) not to far away from me, and me working at a bodyshop/garage means im not going to throw a paddy when i cant do stuff lol. unlike you who...

im hopefully getting that green valver thats come up for sale. needs ALLOT of metal work but im not fussed :D to own a mk1 that'll be rust free will be my ultimate path ! cheers for the heads up, i'll have a gander. just think mate. once you have done, you'll be in the very elite club of...

LOL Im game, will notify work. ooooooh DaveDreads

sad to see this end :( im on about getting a valver and taking all the rust off it ( in a perfect world ) if you dont mind me asking, where did you get all the replacement parts? ive asked my usuall dealer ( imperial crash repair parts ) and they only do , arch's and sills for the mk1

havent a clue, that sort of stuff doesn't float my boat chip, you should know that :)

engine bay fuse box, the white connector at the bottom of it all ( R34 or something connector ) that gets heavy oxidation and caulses alsort of trouble linked to this. allso clean all the fuses and relay pins. try again after all that. make sure the battery is not connected.

someone once gave me the idea of fitting a K-Series 1.8 lump and putting a worked head on it. would be a good conversion based on the weight, but pain in the arse for other stuff. not to mention.... hefty cooling to stop it poping headgaskets.

i know you can get motorsport parts for the 1.6 16v already. forged rods + pistons/ and cams.

If it's on a weekend , I need to know a few weeks before, so I can get someone to cover my shift Saturday night :(

A P+P 1.6 head would give the same desired effects (if not better ) than the f4R head? No? or is it you want the dephaser setup? ( I thought most 1.6 16vs ran them ? )

It's not harmed it, I've done half a tank over the weekend so I'll fill it up later. Your pump should be fine, as long as you don't put dodgy diesel in , that little lift up pump cog won't s**t itself in the the high pressure side.

i wasnt ment to put petrol in my dci, ended up rushing around friday and filled it with 5L of petrol before noticing. so now its got 40L odd of diesel, 5L of petrol and 2L of 2T. yeah mines firing up but it dies off slowly, takes a few attempts before it can heat up enough in the cylinders to...

that was possibly the worst indian ive ever had. it was like eating coloured concrete dust.

mine sounds better now ive ran 5L of shell nitro petrol through it LOL. honestly its made something free up as it's sillent when warm. all my glow plugs are fucked thanks to a wiring fault somewhere bettween glow controller and ecu. so starting it first thing in a morning is fun!. wouldnt...

really like it mate! engine bay is nice a meaningful, loving the less is more look about it all.

best bit of it all, the head gasket still hasnt shat itself ;) now get it done, reset the valve clearances, crank up the boost and make a home brew map :P

ive only just managed to get my self settled .... pomo juice wasnt a good idea lol. i dont think the curry agreed with us all but t'was a laugh sat chatting for 2 hours whilst waiting.... Vini the ' king ' haha
