why? Really why put a shite head on an engine with an already far superior head and make it worse?

Anyway if the front bumper irons in the middle are the same as a ph1 I'll have them if possible!

its a black metal bracket fixed to the front of the car, its where the bumper bolts on at the front, just under the headlights.

Can you not fix the car and sell it?

How bads the clutch? bodge it to sell it?

will have a look sometime and try to figure out what it is chris.

i can probably fix the clutch ,the windscreen and the exhaust but than 187k o the clock does not help with the price.
i may be better of sellng the bits and bobs in time

cut the floor and take the pump out, quickest easiet way. about 15 mins or the real way is drop the tank and hope the bolts etc don't all break.

pm me about the TB mofo!

no it wont and if you could fit the 1.8 hea don the 1.4 you would probably lose at least 20bhp its that shite.

the 1.8 TB will bolt on and it will run, but the 1.4's manifold will need borted out to accept it.
