thats ok, so what state is your Melos in, it cant be worse than mine was, but they are easy cars to work on, they have their limitations, they were made cheap, and it shows, but are ok, as long as you remember that, for instance the chassis was designed to take anything upto a v4 essex unit, if you are fitting anything more powerfull you need to look at adding some further strength , the fibreglass can need looking at, but on the upside, they are good cars once sorted out and are capible of surprising a few people a friend of mine has a v8 pheaton, and it goes like *** of a shovel
you can make a great dutton for the price of a very basic locost
