So for those who have been through the mod plating processs in Qld for pinto in a MK1, can you please share some info!
My shell is a 1970 MK1 1300 auto with mild 2L pinto, 32/36, extractors, standard 4 speed manual, 1.6 single piece drive shaft.
From what I've read so far I might be needing (please add to list)  
9" rear drums
Standard 4cyl capri struts, solid discs, M16 calipers.
Larger capacity brake fluid reservoir (Are there any mods that need to be made to the MC when changing these braking components?)
24mm swaybar.
MK2 crossmember
MK2 engine mounting brackets
HD engine mount rubbers
Custom gearbox crossmember to suit auto tunnel with 4 speed.

My undertanding is that you need to have all the running gear found on the 2ltr MK2 including struts, brakes, brake lines, booster etc..
 
The standard sway bar is 20mm so I don't think you'll need 24mm which is too big anyway.  22mm is a better option.
 
Cheers

Hmmm, so the hunt for a rotten 2L shell begins

MK1 capri struts have same leg thickeness and coil diameter as MK2 2L. They were used in  MK1RS2000, surely the MK2 2L items would not need to be used instead of Capri.
