Post by: blakheet on 29 May 2004, 19:13

I have a spare 8v engine with most of the bits still attached if  you need it. it's in basingstoke at the mo.

its at my engine builders, see what the story is on tuesday. depending on story, i might do the work myself, but i think i got access to most of the parts i need. thanks anyway. parts arent the expense, its the labour if i get them to do it. and the time i dont have if they dont do it. so i pay big money and get it back soon, or do it slowly and not pay the money.... the joys of having unreliable cars as daily drivers.


although i did have a MINT 4 dr gl come into work today. With very very dark blue paintwork(original), completely original, owned by a really good looking young lady. Thought it might benefit from an engine transplant for the ultimate sleeper. coilovers plus wheels and you got a perfect show car. I'll get mileage etc. tmrw, and ask if shes wiling to sell it when she comes back on tuesday, anyone interested?
