Ima forewarn you! Yes it can be done BUT use the search button first then ask questions. Second there are parts for the a20a3 you just have to know what to use and the rest are custom made but it can be built.

Much like this thread to me.


No in all seriousness, innovative makes mounts for us. The thread should be easy to find with the aforementioned search function.

once again you need to search.

I think you should spend some time wrenching on American cars. You'll come to love that A20 when you've had to drop engines to get to spark plugs, remove bodies to get to head gaskets, etc.
