You will need...
This is a simple list to give you a rough idea, it's explained in much more detail in the Lets Get Started section.
Tools - Basic mechanics toolkit plus the following:
- Set of ring spanners (Ratcheting spanners are a great help)
- Set of sockets and ratchet
- Impact Wrench - not essential but really helps (12v electric impact wrenches start at £11)
- Breaker bar / strong arm - basically a 3' long ratchet
- 9' long scaffolding bar - not essential but always useful for levering, can be "borrowed" from any building site.
- Engine crane - again not essential, you can use the scaffolding bar and 4 people for an easy lift. (Engine cranes can be hired for £45 or bought for £150. They don't really de-value so can be easily sold afterwards)
Vehicle - any of the following vehicles can be used:
- Any MG ZR
- Any 16v petrol or Diesel Rover 200 or 25
- You could also use our guide to help you fit a turbo engine into any Rover Coupe, 400, 45 or MG ZS
Donor Car
- All the parts you'll need can be found in the front end of a Rover Coupe Turbo.
