No it's not a turbo, to be honest I don't know what one it is.

Probably a 2.5NA, 12j!

Sooooooooooo the old 200 is a bit sentimental it's only been mine a week but have been in the family since nearly new. The old girl has been stood up for 12 years, I don't mind a challenge and have a bit of spare time, I just want to get It right first time as not to have to cut drill weld the galv chassis once it's been done etc. I have a few contacts in the insurance world etc so could maybe get my hands on a completely smashed td5 and transplant the lot.
Apart from the the straight forward (ish) swapping of engine box loom dash clocks fuel (that does seem like some list) is there any thing you would know of that need cutting, welding, brackets etc for it all to go onto original chassis. Don't mind spend a few quid on it to make it smart, usable and last lots more years. All help here is so gratefully received and taken on board.

Have you checked that the original chassis is too far gone?
A lot of them can be plated, painted and waxoyled, and get many more years of useful service.
If your vehicle has been family owned for a long time, looked after and not abused, there might be a lot of life in that chassis yet.
My own Ninety is original chassis, barely been welded, and used almost every day on the road and the farm!

Hi,
Hope you don't mind me jumping in.... I have just (about 20 mins ago) been offered a y plated 90 with a td5 engine.... I know nothing more and I'm waiting on photos and more details, and a look some time soon....

Can anyone think of anything I should look out for or questions to ask???

Thanks Andy.
