DerbyDreamer is selling?

You could use the "change" to rebuild the engine & get a bulkhead (depending on which kit you have in mind).
A point to remember with the £2,000 donor car is how much you will get back from selling the parts you don't need.
I bought an unfinished project with invoices to prove £000s had been spent on it & it came with lots of new/unused parts.
I've still got a few bits to sell, but to date the net cost of my engine & rolling chassis is just a few hundred quid.
The other thing to consider is the time a nut & bolt restoration will take.
One thing is for sure, there is no "right" way to build one of these kits.
Good luck, Paul,
