HAHA the pictures dont do it justice really do they matt.



No it looks much more rusty in real time :)

Tony, as for the engine and Box, if they would be of use to you then make an offer, everyhting has a price :) got a 1300 engine spare too.

I've decided to make a quick dyane actually, as and when i can think the projects down a bit i'll make a start.

Who's fitted a turbo and what do i need?

Stefan on this board fitted a turbo.

But if you start off with a 1300 and AMI Super 4 spd you'll have something quite quick to start with...

Your chassis looks rusty on the 2 front crossmembers. it should be no problem at all to replace these with box section tube.

I think he can't go lower because of the angle of the road to his garage

That looks great!

Think about change springs and front arms if you want a better road behavior!
