Doesn't look bad at all, you should have the welding done by the end of the weekend. On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:

Holey crap!! I've never seen the flitch panel that bad before, and I have seen some bad minis.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:
Yep I agree with TD........ |

The big block starts at 1800 and above. those GM v8's are huge in comparison, like you said rear / mid engine only i guess. |

I know the 1600 16v fits.. It's the 1800 head that could cause me some issues, but I will make it all fit :) |

with things running very tight you can get the red top lump in a standard length round nose (just) so im sure you will be fine My small bore turbo project http://www.turbominis.co.uk/forums/index.php?p=vt&tid=473901 |

not sure about the similarity of these vauxhall engines but there was a guy in Glasgow a good few years ago running an old cavalier SRI 1.8 8v in his round nose.

Bit more body chopping done today. About halfway through taking the nearside fitch and inner wing off, i can save the other side so thats a bonus as its an original panel.
