New project....
So, I swore I would never have a french *!%$ car....
Nevermind, bargains are bargains and 60mpg was too much of a pull
The rear beam is fubarred so whats it to be? Zetec or bike engine driving an IRS back axle?
Anyone else use the 106owners forum?
Thats 5 cars now, 3 4x4's, bumper, and 2 tintops

60 mpg, really?
p.s it won't be doing 60mpg with a bike engine in it either!
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

60+ mpg is easy in those, ran one for year as commuter myself, pretty good cars really!

Yep,
I run one myself and it gives me nearer
70 mpg.
Could use a rear axle myself,its seized
bloody solid on the o/s.

How about an MI16 engine, driving the back wheels. Either mid engine (no need to sort a gearbox?), or figure out a rwd box and stick the engine up
front!

Yeah had the earlier model and I could run from warrington to manchester airport each day and it'd cost me about £15 for the week, mind you that
was in 1999!
