I think it might be my turn to snap up this deal ... pm'ed the seller and now looking for trailer rental ...

I'm right in thinking the 02A output flanges on the diff are the same size as the 020? Looks like I'd have to rewire my entire pre-90 wiring system.

Or not ...

Hi mate. This looks pretty promising, I'd be interested in the whole lot

Out of interest, what was the reason the car has been scrapped in the first place?

Do you have any photos of the whole car and (remains of) interior, just so I can gauge what is there.

Thanks

Ben

Quote from: Angry ebay seller

Fed up of spoofers like yourself asking questions about things listed on the auction. Made other questions public just for others amusement (as i know they are all just muppets having a laugh at my expense), but fed up of you now. Hows about you crawl into a hole, or bid if you are serious? It might make you all laugh, but it wastes my time.

Oh well :sad: To think, I even got the ball rolling on Shiply to get it delivered.

ummm   looks like a reasonable question to me.  oh well if was owned by such a knob  thats a pritty good reason to not buy it.


btw    you don't need to swap your pre 90 loom to 90 for abf.    you can put pre 90 plugs ont he abf loom  :smiley:
