You can use the hubs and shafts from your 1.6. you need cav CV's (either inner or outer-can't remember which)
then you need mounts
engine + box + loom + ecu etc
also a 1.012v top rad hose as they fit better imo.
You would also need to get an exhaust made up, and also upgrade brakes and suspension if you havn't already.
That was just off the top of my head quick.

As fro says above pretty much. Cav Mk2 inner CV's you be needing.
Exhaust can be welded, but tbh your best off getting a proper one made up.

If it was me mate i'd buy the CV's new as opposed to 2nd hand ones from a scrappy, only about 40-50 a side from vaux. Will probably need to order them in though.

The ones eel has posted are inside ones. You can use standard outer ones, but you will need 22 spline shafts.

When my converison was done I was told the shafts were 22 spline.
Sold them and they weren't. So not all 1.6 sports are 22's.

Its strange that not all of them are 22's.
Mine must have been as they were fine.
