yeah the pole does look a bit dodgy but loads of people use it!
you can also move the resovoir some where and do it like that some how! :boggle:

got the exact same problem with a friend cavalier mk1 and his xe in it, it on webber 45`s but there are a few options u can do,either extend the servo out on a pole to near the front or make alterations to the servo with a hammer! :thumbs:

early manta would be cool as hell. pretty rare to see on on the road.

just thought about the paint Jambo, and i think a respray will break the £500 budget :lol:

hers some pics of the front end cut off

yes but it would be worth it, a green mettalic, or maybe a purple mettalic, we could prep it save a fortune :D

Thats just wrong.

wont be for a little while as i have other priorities right now, but my current plan for a next project is a chevette with 2.0 8v.

should be cheap to buy and build. hopefully be able to make something quick and fun for not a lot of cash.

something like this would be the plan, although i thought it wouldn't go above about £350.
