so I have started my first project I bought a mk1 1.1c 3 door after driving it the engine was just too slow so I have picked up a abf engine on carbs with a 4+e gearbox
obvs the chassis mounts are in the wrong place so I have unpicked them ready to be moved but I need help with getting the right mounts for the engine and box so I can weld the mounts back onto the chassis
all help welcome

Car looks aright, if that's the only hole on the front scuttle panel you have done well or some cowboy mobile windscreen fitter has not be working on the car and scratched all the paint under the seal!
I had a Mk1 tin top in the same colour, well the same sort of faded, patchy dark red.  :lol:
