That particular car had a two belt drive line. The primary belt wa an Xl series timing belt (110Xl) and ran directly from the crank shaft to a jack shaft that had the clutch mounted inboard and the second belt ran from the clutch to the rear axle. This belt was a "V" belt. If you need more info on the car you can feel free to email me.

i picked the car up today the had changed the engine and had run a chainsaw engine why i dont know
90% of the standard drive train is there its got a belt to a lay shaft with clutch
and a chain to fixed rear axle
now the fraim has had 2 bars cut out no biggy will replace them
and the sway bar has been moved its ment to be infront of the rear axle so this will be put back as well to where it was
the main parts the car is missing that i can see at the moment are
the clutch assy and bell
the brake set up that works on the clutch drum
a rear axle (i can get this made)
the rest of the car seems to be there
allt he plastic guards and shelds ,under tray etc are all there and in good condition
2 sets of wheels one set alloy and another set plastic
and a few sets of tyres
the body is abs plastic and is in good condition
if any one has a clutch and brake set up i would be keen to buy
will do some more photos when i get time

Bently:
I know I have some of the drive line parts, possibly all of them. I will get after this in the morning. Send me an email at FMurry8995@aol.com and I will post photos of what I can come up with. Good luck with the project. Hope I can help you out.
