I need to give a newly purchased 1600 some remedial attention to the floor panels if I am to enjoy the short summer we have in UK, prior to a major rebuild during winter. Can anybody tell me where I might find information or photos/diagrams of the best way to go about this. I believe that it is not recommended to do this from beneath the car, but that the car should be turned on it's side???? Can anybody confirm or deny this? Also to any UK readers......does anybody have experience of fitting a UK 2.0l Pinto engine into a 1600?? Best Donor car? (Sierra or granada?) as I also want to fit the five speed gearbox Thanks Paul
