I'm hoping to do the work over the winter and have her ready for the Spring when shows/meets start up again. Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 i think the bit about the engine not needing a cat is wrong the car was sold with a cat and therefore should have one for its mot, i may be wrong but might be worth checking out before the next one is due. Looks like a tidy install though and a clean car. Welcome to the club. Link to post Share on other sites
cj_wig 0 Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 That's just from the ad the seller posted up. I'm going to get a cat before the MOT.It does need some work, but it's get there Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 think emissions regs are on the engine and the VED is counted on the chassis, but with it being a pre 2001 it would be in the same tax classification anyway.But the car coming out of the factory with a cat then having a pre cat engine conversion is a good point and seems to be a massive grey area that there is no definitive answer to Link to post Share on other sites
