What do people think of this ?

[Savvi]

Was looking for a front exhaust pipe for the Viva and came across this, it has a 205 Pinto and 5 speed box in it

I think it has something real sweet about it

Still, they are a lovely looking car

Buy it mate !! A guy in Grimsby has a viva with 200sx running gear in it on the street

[Savvi]

I picked up a 2 door Viva the other day, 1974 one owner as said i'm looking for a front pipe but came across this car.

 

 

 

Lee has the right idea .............. i'm thinking of it, the one i have would be superb base to start

[lee_capri]

ermmmmmmmm savvi i might know were their is a 3.3 with 4-speed box mate if the guy is still takeing it out like he said last week

 

but to be honest get that pinto in they you have a tidy body why spend more money on anouther when you can build your one with the cash

[Savvi]

Cheers Lee

 

I wouldn't buy another, it's just seeing that one has really made me think about doing a bit more than what i intended

 

 

To make thing worse ................ or better........... i have a 205 pinto and 5 speed spare including carb dizzy etc.

 

 

Certainly making me think.

[lee_capri]

you could have it all in by tuesday and up and running

[Savvi]

Just mailed the guy to ask how he did it etc.

[lee_capri]

it's dead simple to do savvi

 

you have to remove all the gear form your's is the 1300 you have in it rear sump,they have a big engine bay any-way if you can shoe horn a v8 in one with a jag back axle the pinto is well easy to do

I seem to remember reading somewhere recently that a Pinto slips straight into a viva with crossflow engine mounts
