If I may ask, what vehicle is the donor?
yep,course you can ask, its a '94 rover 218d non turbo, and its parked outside right now, been using it for work last couple of days, to make sure everything runs ok, still legal till september good buy for 100 quid.
I'm going to use the engine/box, front susp and part of the monocoque, just gonna sawzall the chassis rails out and the maccy strut steelwork, obviously reinforcing it with tube/box afterwards.
not decided whether to keep the steering wheel, or to fit handlebars, wheel probably less keep fit.
will get some piccies when i get the camera to work.
