Please don't re-use the flywheel bolts... I speak from experience.

4 to 6 inches down from the flange.

we used to tack a bar from 1 to 2 and 3 to 4 just to give it a bit more strength.

To the best of my knowledge, yes, a kent oil pump is a direct replacement.

Looking good! Can you still get fishnet recaros?

keep the V6. Too much power and the plastic pig will fall apart!

bubble arch blue on white. stuff a fiat/lancia 2 litre in it for real oldschool goodness. Or a v8 rover...

No not really, you want an AX block for that - it was designed for really crap african petrol and is much heavier. It's the block the original rally escorts bored 1840ccs out of. 71 is the year the block was designed I think - the previous being the 68(1F), and then next mod was to put it into a fwd fiasco, which is a 77(1M) block ( and the engine mounts are wrong amongst other things ). So what you're after is a 711M6015BA block for 1600, AA for 11/1300. Not the easy to read wrong 771M6051BA!

I have, its easy as to do. Just drill/grind/hammer the rivets out and bolt it back together with the new rubber. There's Group 4 ones come up regularly on tm for less than that. No rubber...

Great to see it looking better already - was it a few times on TM and it made my skin crawl! I say go for the minilite look too. Is that an anti-dive kit I see there??
-
Is that the US pinto? Never seen one in the flesh...

That you back John?? How am I ever going to get my PPL with you the other side of the field

The images that kiwixr3i put up at the top of the page...

Post up a few photos will you please? I'm doing this to my Mk.1, and am nervous (:

That's not an x pack, more audi quattro really... here's a droop snoot x pack. You can see that the flares are far boxier.
