Stripping the donor.

I have 2 engines (1.8 pinto and 2.0 dohc), gearbox (MT75), diff (1.8cvh estate), shafts, cvh loom, dohc ecu, hubs, fanimolds, and a few more bits I cant remember (shocks/springs were wrong size ) and have spent £110.

I dont have the space to break a car, so had to go this route.

it takes a while and a bit of bartering though!
