My brothers old pink mini was about as much volvo as that - he had 240 sills and nearly a full 240 estate roof skin used as patch material!

Must admit it does look good :)

All worked too!

Agreed....why would you use that instead of a built T5 engine or a built 16v redblock?

cheers

Well if you had a 360 with a dead engine, and an Audi with a knackered body it would be rude not to :)

Next to my B230 lump in the garage I now have a 1.6 16v Toyota 4AGE lump. If I had the engineering capabilities I'd love to put that in a 360, just because it would be totally different! Plus theres a huge weight difference between the engines so it'd probably help the handling too!

lighter?
more revs?
more power?

I don't see problem with putting an audi engine in, atleast it's not from the Citroen, Renault and Peugeot stables!

I would definately have an audi in a second, as long as I could keep my volvo!

Lighter maybe. The other two? Depends how you build it. I did say 'built'. ;)
