You'll have loads of fun in that, my mate's got a Mk1 with a 2 litre Ecotec lump, never a dull moment in that car with the 20 year old crossply tyres on his Lotus steels

Nice one Marco !

Have you been watching 'Get Carter' on TCM again ?

When we going to see you down the Ace Cafe doing 'Burn Ups' & 'Wheelies' ??

Forget the cossie motor... too much money and grief.. you've got a cossie you know what they can be like...

Stick a lary pinto in it or a Zetec on 45's...... just about the right power for the old chassis....
