nothing wrong with my engine at all, thats going in the new shell along with my dash and a new interior poss. my four door is getting very rusty and the c-locking is mullered, previous owners have butchered much of the car and i just cant be arsed anymore.........and relax....
this way i can fix as many little probs as we build it.
ad is having the running gear so if he ever gets round to putting a proper engine in he doesn't have that to do as well.
and ziggy, i know exactly what you mean
off to old skools moro to get it, fingers crossed

dammit! scratch that then.
bloody touring ended up more rotten than my four door, this is nothing to do with Bruce by the way, he haddn't seen it since stioring it. am still having the shell as all the suspenson etc is more than worth it.
looks like the four door will live on
but with amazing suspension
and lots of rust
