The plastic part of the grille always reminds me of the grille of a Datsun/Nissan 120A from the 70's.

Alan, The £30 conversion will always be a bit misleading, as whatever box you selected, you would still have to buy the gearbox (say £70-£100 or more), measure, design and fabricate an adapter plate of some kind (maybe £100), work out clutch activation and the actual clutch pack (£50-£100), ge...

There are different rivets and clips for different trims, if you can list the trims you are replacing then I'm sure that between us we can give you the names of suppliers.

Early 1.8 Sherpas used the Marina 4 speed box, although I believe some got the LT77. I think Crashbang did the LT77 conversion on a Marina or Ital, so if you really need the details, hopefully he'll post some notes here. The thing about the LT77 is that it is 'kin heavy, some say 40Kg more than Mari...

Hi Russ, Interesting pics of T5 gearboxes, comparing the two housings, you can see that the ally casings are different, so I doubt if it is a conversion. The first one has "WC" written on it in pen which usually signifies "World Class" i.e. like a Cosworth or V8 Mustang etc. The ...

Russ, I found the website that you got the picture from, they seem to be for Tractor power take off (PTO) auxilliary drives for add on equipment. Most are rated at only 75hp, although one or two are 100hp. I think that the principle is interesting, if one could be made to overcome the clutch release...

Interesting idea Russ, as you know Steve and I have a conversion plate for the V6 Sierra Type 9 gearbox to go into the Marina. The reason we use that is because the 4 cylinder Type 9 version of the gearbox, the input shaft isn't long enough. Can you email or PM me the website link for this company? ...

Quite right.

Spot on Dave.

So SDL - wheel arch trims and stainless under windows.

There's a couple on Ebay at the moment, use this search. One will need a recore by the looks of it, but the other looks OK. Ebay Radiator . I had mine recored a couple of years ago at a cost of about £90, that was for an uprated core, the cores are copper so not cheap and the labour is the same wha...

Be the boss, your car, your money, your rules. It's easier to pull back from a strong position, than to get tough later on.

See how the first stage or two goes and how the car and driver is performing and then re-assess.

The same goes in the UK. Past Parts Ltd., in Bury St.Edmunds will recondition any hydralics for you.

If you want buy new, visit Rimmer Bros website, the same units were used on Dolomites.

No not lowered at all, although I suspect that rear springs may have 'settled' over the years.

I previously used 175/70s on some alloys looked ok.
