Fitted both bumpers to check fit,not sure whether to rechrome or not,not to bad for 45 year old chrome fell really lucky with both front wings,because of poor image on ebay they looked rotten,got them for starting price of £50,had to go to Lake district to collect though. they have never been weld on only bolted so done same on Toledo

Does this engine turn anti-clockwise, if so how have you overcome that, just flipped the diff over?

Very nice. I will be watching with interest. I have seen an F20 2 door Toledo before, there's at least 1 other. I've just finished this: Oh and if you're not using one already, you will need a Sprint axle to take the power.

Regarding brakes I am using 4 pot Austin calipers and Corolla AE86 discs made to fit for the front. The Sprint rear drums are plenty big enough.
For my fuel return I routed it through the car and welded a union onto the filler neck.

Heard of people using them on Triumphs before,definitely have to change wheels to fit though,did that filler neck trick on last car but this later engine hasn't got return for some reason.

In this for updates...
One of my favourite cars was a custom Toledo roadster that was in triumph world mag in the late 90s.
Wish I hadn't sold my mags when I discovered eBay!
