The Ronals are sold…there on a Corsa now    

theyre not on a black corsa C are they? saw one in dunstable bedforshire! they suite it grudgingly, hate corsas!!

Yes mate they are!!  

Started stripping it back down today should have the ABF in by Saturday….

wot u doin with that engine? ^^^^^^

Binning it mate, by the time i take all my goodied off it all that will be left is the head and block.  

Finally got the beast back on the road, its now running a 2.0 16v ABF on KJet and as of today has 12 months MOT!!! Well chuffed cos it saves me driving the GF's Saxo  

did you have to make the worlds biggest shoe horn to get that mother plucker in there?? what made you change the ronals??

looks pukka mate.

wish i had my 16v in and working.

Changed the ronals as the 165/50/15 Stretch tyres couldn't keep traction and it got slightly dangerous in the wet  8O It's not as tight a fit as you'd imagine!  8)

The car looks fantastic mate, great job on the engine and I love the colour too.

Not sure I would chosen to change the wheels though, 165 is on the narrow side but couldn't you just get wider rubber?

Tian :y:

I did like the ronals but they were starting to get lacquer peel so flogged them to my mate before i needed to refurb them.....

Areet mate, just a quick question, what brakes are you running behind your new wheels? It's just i bought a very similar type of wheel like a year ago and so far haven't found the right brakes to fit behind them! The car is an early one, '78, so it has the excessively wide callipers on it! Mine are ET6, and have got a bit less of a dish, they are starmags (mini style), are yours the same size e.c.t? And did you use spacers, cos i don't really wanna use em if i can help it!

Any help would be appreciated, cheers dude    

I'm using 256mm 16v brakes with 20mm spacers.

Cheers

nice hoops and chrome mate,lovin the bus  8)

Its mint mate, just as i like em with some great touches and minimal styling, quality.
