Right here we go, as some of you may know I'm putting together my 245 Project Tulip (F reg GL B200E engine auto).

I have aquired a B23E B reg auto GLT, I am going to use the engine from this in my estate, complete with wiring etc etc.

Question 1) Can I use the front struts and springs as these are faitly new and look in great condition.

Question 2) can I adjust the camber by adjusting the top of the strut where it bolts to the chasis?

Question 3) out of all the B2*** engine which was the best for power?

Question 4) what can I expect mpg wise from a B23E whith a M47 gearbox behind it?

Question 5) How do I remove the top nut from the strut, I have strut on the bench with the springs compressed. Can I use a 24mm offset ring spanner and something on the tread? Anyone else's experience would be appreciated.

Regards Andi K,

P.S here are a couple of new pics:
