Same as putting it into a Mk3 or Escort Turbo, custom drive shafts and mounts need to be fabricated. What ratio's are you on?

Inner wing mods. Chop chunk out and strenthen remaining metalwork. Lump hammer may give clearence if being crude.

There is a pic somewhere on here..

I've got an MTX mounted in my Mk1:

As stated, shafts, mount and inner wing needs to be cut and welded are main worries.

Any pictures of the under side Si? what other mounts you using any pic's?

What box you actually got?

i'm planning to fit one in th esummer after my wedding, i'm not worried though, if it needs chopping, it'll be chopped.
custom shafts need not be that expensive and mounts are easy to make.
