I'm posting due to the fact I'll hopefully be wringing information on going off the typical 'Locost' route that everyone does (1.6 Pinto? Sorry, don't like it). I've just got a Vauxhall XE for it, and have sorted the gearbox.
Wishbones, Cortina uprights and Type 9.
Steering rack, etc
It ain't a pretty sight
Exhaust - this currently goes onto the worst manifold I've ever seen in my life.
Car now sits fully rust-treated and tidied up. Seriously, 75% of the car is complete, the back end needs sorting with can be welded on later as a 'part'.
