Default My new ride

Well been talking about getting a corty for a while now, today it finaly happened.




It's got a mild xf motor an xf t5 bit of surface rust on the rear gaurd.
Interior is pretty **** but that doesn't bother me.

The guy left the 2.92 ratio in and put a t5 in it.

He gave me a 3.5 for nothin though so i'll put that in when my leg gets better.

Got a question, I'll ask here instead of making a new thread..

The car has a tacho in it that's not wired up, will the tacho connect to the xf motor fine?

Think the gauges are from a TE ghia

Also, how do I wire it up?
