Cheers for your help today Deejay, much appreciated. I'm going to hang on to my money and introduce myself to the Cresta Owners Club at Billing and see if they know of any going begging. The right one will come along soon, I've no doubt. I'm just impatient!

I hate towing anything heavy! when we first bought the e21 I towed it from 10 miles north of exeter up to sheffield with my 320i e30 bm touring, but also had a full 325i engine in the boot of the e30 plus a gearbox in the back of the e21. my touring was fully on the bump stops! I was the same 45mph tops, seems its a impenetrable barrier when towing something thats simply too heavy for the tow vehicle! took 4 hours to get down there by speeding! took over 8 getting back! ive no idea how we diddnt get pulled over on the way back, look so dodgy/overloaded. trailer weight must have been 1800kgs. e30 touring 1350....... cool low rider, deffo not my tastes, but cool!

Looks like an awesome donor engine/box ;D DUDE! Hows it hangin? Yaman his POS is rockin the Powerlok now and boy is it awesome! When it comes on boost it just steps the back end out perfectly. It's been a real nightmare to get it where it is now but it was worth it though Darce may not agree as it won't start as of tuesday. Someone needs to buy you a set of welding gloves fella before you lose a frickin finger or worse!!! Yea it's a big old bus the Viscount and rare now too... Only something like 36 still registered!!! I think it was a proper bargainous deal that i got the V8 one for. The dude got messed about on ebay so i got chance of it for a lot less than i thought it was gonna be... See ya soon mate Hopefully, we need to get the two Kadetts together.

That kadett sounded AWSOME at pv! I was the one by my chevette with the MAHUSIVE grin on my face when the dude was spanking it about ;D lowrider looks good! well, has potential to look good again lol You should have come over 'n introduced yourself dude!I was the one under the bonnet on Saturday looking perplexed... It is an animal of a thing, wanna see the build thread? www.migweb.co.uk/forums/projects-restorations/355575-1977-opel-kadett-c-c20let.htmlThere ya go. It's booked in for final mapping on 27th July so it'll be even more lairy after then... It was touch and go for a while whether it was gonna be at PV cos it blew up on the rolling road a week before the show, Darcy managed to pull it together but when he ran it after it was back together the brand new £800 T35 hybrid had sh1t itself so that had to go back to Turbo Technics for a re-core... He received it back from them the friday morning we were leaving for the pod! Yea the lowrider is cool but the paint job is wibblepoo on it and theres LOADS of welderin to do before it can roll again as you'll see in the next lot of photos i'm gonna upload... cheers for that. i would have introduced myself but the only 2 times i saw it i was drunk off my face next to our fire lol i did put my hands up and cheers the second time it went by though ;D

I promised myself that this one was gonna get finished but.... I'm SERIOUSLY considering selling this as it is due to Clare being made redundant in march and having a baby due in two weeks....
Interested parties should message me for more details.
