At Toby's normal pace I would say well before George is
Christened.

I would like to have it up and running for the summer, but not
looking too hopeful.

I wondered if you still had the 80" as i had not heard much
about it. I did wonder if Mr Scruff had nicked all your bits for
phatty !!!!!!!

At current rate of progress that might be a tad optimistic! I
keep looking at the 80 and trying to decide which way to rebuild
it. One idea is keep it scruffy as hell, but fit an odd motor
that has not been done before. ie. VW 1.9tdi so that it would be
very useable...

There is a guy in the state with a VW diesel in a series - i
found it on another forum and will see if i can find it again,
I've always thought that would be a good one, or ele an l
series diesel to keep it rover group

kind of why i'm leaning toward the l series if/when i replace
the 2.25 in mine, or possibly a 2.0mpi from a discgay.
after all a twink has been done so it should be similar to swap
in the 2.0l diesel and in a light truck should be a good
conversion.

the mpi should go in, someone has already fitted the Rover
Tomcat 2.0 turbo engine into a S2/3, he also used an lt77 box i
think so not a simple bolt in job but apparently it went like
stink
