Ahh perfect! Have been hoping to see an English page! I'll join it now and thankfully it's just misc rust, only small patches of rust/rot and not anywhere structural

It's going to be updated later on as I shall be stripping down the engine to see if anything/what needs replacing etc. it's gunna definitely be a tight fit, this is 34inch as the only one is  about 25, but if I fit turbo, inter cooler etc, all snug around it I reckon I can do it after a while lol,

So, here's to nothing! Got a 12 week holiday coming up so I'm hoping to get the majority done then

I'll keep this as up to date as possible with photos etc, Thankyou for the support!

  Holy crap that's cool, if that fit's my next buy is a Bis 

[thepuddlejumper]

Dom Subarugears now advertise on eBay you could fit a scuby gearbox to deliver all that power. Only problem is cost, the conversion kit is £1,500 and a converted gearbox at £2,995. If I have to change to an ej20 I will try the gearbox conversion kit.

Done I bit more today after work, got most of cambelt etc taken of just had enough cuts and scars for today lol,

Ooh, I'll have a look into that gearbox conversion kit then, I was originally thinking a 944 gearbox (most around £100) and then I've had a quote or £150 for full new internals putting in,

Keeping my options open for now thanks for the positive comments too guys much appreciated

I'll keep this as up to date as possible for everyone lol
