Well after 6 weeks look what has finally arrived.........................
After being stood for about 12 months it isn't TOO bad.
Engine is running, however head gasket has gone (dipstick is covered in ice cream). Front end is only placed on at the moment, however head lights are in the boot ready to go back in. Interior is pretty ropey to be honest - seats are ripped, carpet is about done and door cards need a good clean. However not a sign of mould or damp inside so I have to presume it is watertight!!!!
I have already sourced a replacement low mileage engine, had a price for engine removal, clean and service gearbox, new clutch kit and release bearing, new master cylinder, cam belt and water pump, pressure wash engine bay and new engine in, all for £500. Didn't think that was too bad, I would do it myself but, as I am sure some of you have noticed on my other build, my drive is at quite a steep angle so not conducive to engine changing!
I am just glad to finally have it here!!!
