2 Litre Twin Cam

[Guest Brynjon]

Hi folks - having pondered over what can and cannot be done to these beasts of ours and thought to myself, 'What are you doing with a basic 1.6 pinto under the bonnet?'. I have decided to get myself a 2 litre twin cam from my mate Dave's scrappy before its too late and he buggers off to Oz.

 

He is busy searching through for a decent one and before I pull the trusty 1.6 out I thought I should ask the more - well how can I put it? - YES the more dirtyfingeredhammerfingeredrainedonmiserablebloodystuckonboltswishi'dneverstartedthisbloodylark of you whether there would be much of a clart on shoehorning one into my little beast.

 

Those of you who met me will know I wasn't the best with a spanner but always willing to lend an old rubber glove when one was needed.

 

I'm busy trying to leather cover a pair of old van seats - cheers for the idea.

 

If it is too much of a faff then I may just leave her as she is other than the seats and the fascia etc.

 

Cheers for now. Must tasche.
