Customer has changed their mind on the 760 and now wants a 940... it has just arrived at my house.

So the 760 is for sale on facebook marketplace for anyone interested.

I will be fitting the Auriga ally to the 940 and the 940 wheel to the 760.

So I'll start a new thread on the 940 now then haha.

760 has been sold and will be getting a 1UZ V8 conversion in the future so it has once again been saved from the crusher.

He has decided against the V8 now but is looking for a T5 car to buy as an engine donor so it will still have a Volvo engine just one less cylinder haha.

There's a very long thread in the 240 section where someone (Antz i think it was) did a T5 into a 240. Think that was an F reg as well.

He'll now need to find himself a white block conversion kit - not too many of them around for sale these days. There was one on eBay a few months back - seller was asking £1000.....cheaper to buy a whole 960 2.5 donor to get everything you need.....

Here's a starter kit - a lot missing - but with the most difficult part to get hold of - manual gearbox.....

Here's a complete kit - engine, manual box and everything needed all wrapped up in a car already converted - with a ropey shell.....
