  5. Spent saturday removing the 1.3 and droping in the 2litre. decided to put a sierra 5 speed in so will have to wait a few more weeks till i get some more spare time.

    Got the 2litre in and mounted. however still need to massage (read: bash) the transmission tunnel to fit the 5 speed and need to sus out some mounts. i still need a few certain items to make it run like corty alternator and pissing around with wires / fuel line / vacuum lines.

    Would post pics but cant find the camera. will post if i find it

  6. Probably sweet labour wise but if anyone wants to pop in and see how its going / lend a hand then filk me a txt an ill send u my addy. probs be mild otp from 12 onwards stz

  7. OH hey there boes!! Small update.. stripped out my engine bay of almost everything cept for engine block/brakes & steering... so this sat the 2litre is ready to be transplanted. Got the extractors and clutch sorted. Mike-e sorted the sump for me CHEERS BOE. So.. this saturday im whipping it out.. (1300 that iz... um yuh) bombing the engine bay gloss black, whipping in the 2litre and 5 speed.

    If all goes according to plan she should be in and running by saturday afternoon.. won't be driveable due to lack of mufflers / driveshaft..

    Fingers crossed boes 8)

  8. Cheers boe. yea not much to discuss about the eski.. i do have 1 question though, should i keep the 13s or move up to 15x7s to fill the flares a little more, though it may look hi-ace as, the back can only be dropped an inch more before int in the pink zone..

    iv read that page many times and have a rough idea of how to do the swap, iv got most of the parts and shit now but im thinking of buyng a fuked pinto motor and swapping my 1.6 head on it and swapping that in at a later date.
