Not sure on which shape you have been offered but I has a E Reg one a few years back with a 7mge engine which was prone to head gaskets going..... and
mine did but was a cracking car apart from that.

Yeah the engine is pretty big from memory, probably would be a very tight squeeze to say the least. I wouldnt like to say if it would go in or not but
I think it would be a tight squeeze in a viento

The chair of the motor clubs got one as a trackcar.
- Other than the fact it blow the head gasget on the way home and then failed its MOT on having not rear arches left so had never actually got to a
track its been a storm.
This is it in its current form. Rear subframe off for archwork. *Some comic photoshoping may have occured.
