One other question, regarding the mtec kit.. Will the kits fit the cabby or does the cabb have different dimensions in any way... Looking at side skirts, front and rear valance.. Thanks

87 cab will be prefacelift. Cabs weren't facelifted until 90 or 91.

Rear lights normally distinguish the difference between Tech 1 Tech 2 cars I think. The lights on Tech 1 cars have the vertical reverse lights, however it may be different for cab's...

As for the Tech 1 kit, tech 1 front and rear valance are required as far as I know and the side skirts are cab specific.

Tech 1 kits fro a cab are rare, get hold of Adit on here..

Ben
The above applies mainly to the bodywork, etc. The rest was facelifted at the same time as the rest of the range
