Ke 30 as she is:

bought her at the start of 7th form and drove it for a year or 2 before being busted for "sustained loss of traction" (there was never any traction to begin with):twisted: and she has sat for a year collecting dust... until now...

1.8 3t-b with 2 inch exhaust, W40 gearbox, hydrolic clutch conversion, sportline wheel, reset leaves and 2 inch blocks. cutties up front. 13x6 usa800s with 205/60s

To cum: leaning towards 3t gteu and w50 g box with new suspension and a decent paint job... i want to 13b turbo it but lack of funding means i cant. any donations for the cause welcome :D

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)

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
