Thanks again folks, the book is on order, should get it soon. The new Zetec sounds like a serious bargain at that sort of money. Anybody know how much a kidney sells for these days Mrs has 2 and I'm fairly sure she only needs 1

if you use the new zetec engine for your build , you will need a "cat" for the emissions test at IVA time, thats why i,m using the donor engine to start with

Again, a very good point.

TBH, if I had a donor I would just use the lump from that, then change at a later date.

I think an engine needs to be pre '95 to get relaxed rules on emissions at IVA time.

Interesting point about the cat. Hmmm, me thinks I need to ponder things for a while. I am leaning towards getting a rotten donor and using as much as I can from it then maybe swap in something a bit more adventurous later. Maybe buid it to take an MT75 but use whatever I get for starters.

2 very good points there.

If the chassis is built to 'MT75' dims, then the Type 9 apparently fits with bags of room.

And beer is ALWAYS a good idea, unless;
  • you are driving
  • you are browsing EBay

Unless I have been seriously 'on it' I have the opposite problem.

It all gets going sweet as, but I don't 'end'.
