i did but it costs a fortune to tune it up any more and was getting to the point where it was sell it 
keep it as is and buy another car (already have 6 cars and haven't got enough space for them as is)
or ditch the diesel lump and get a better engine for doing track days and rwyb's,
would love one off these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VAUXHALL-ASTRA-H-ZAFIRA-VECTRA-1-9-CDTI-ENGINE-150BHP-COMPLETE-SAAB-93-Z19DTH-/300666057103?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item460117f18f but I m not spey

I started putting a B204L engine in a 1.2 16v about june last and still bloody doing the thing.taken different routes with it like f28 box,td04 turbo.
Weld the seems and fit a strengthing kit to be safe there is a lot o torque from these engines.
Nigel pumford should have finished his by now also,also known as astra nige.

When i took my 1.2 16v lump out i couldn`t believe how light it was,saab one is nearly twice the weight.
As for the shoehorn i`ve found you need a very big one 
If you come across any probs give use a shout,i might be of some help can`t promise tho brains mushy
All good fun though.

just needs a little more welding and cleaning up

Hi mate, it's looking good I'm half way through doin the exact same conversion.. Just wondering, was there any problems gettin the engine in? Ie: engine mounts an clearance on chassis, heard this was a problem with these conversions? Any help would be much appreciated, and all the best with yours
