Same. Got unfinished business with Montegos, particularly diesel estates, and I've got a spare set of unused 6n Polo coilovers sat around... 

Edit:

I loved this piece of shit, but it was rotten. Utterly rotten, and a load of oil had been spilled on the back seat. Sills and pillars made of wob and rolled up newspapers... So rattle cans and drunken lowering it was. 

I used to own K612 WOL, a Rover 827 that had similar vibes

XUD powered FSO? Yes please!

Blimey!  I didn't think there were any of these left.

Any idea what gearbox it uses?  One of the very few applications of an XUD in longitudinal and RWD, so the gearbox is a bit of a mystery to me.

If I was to hazard a guess, either an LT77 or R380 on a custom bell housing, as that's what the LDV Pilot did. 

Some late Caros had K Series engines, so that link with the RG was there. 

I'm probably talking shit.
