Options presented thus far have been.

- Brand Spankers V7 Motor

- Rebuild on current Motor

- Second hand bottom end privately

- Second hand bottom end from workshop

- Spec C Half Cut from japan (Tell 'im he's dreamin!)

Trying to get all my options at the moment, i only found out 3 hours ago, and it'll be a while before i'll be able to pull any sort of money together for something like this. So we wait and see i guess.

yeah, it all depends on what you want out of it

at the moment i'm undecided. but i'm leaning towards a replacement bottom end and selling her off. and 6 months down the track i'll upgrade to an 05 or something.

At this point thought i'll just give it time, see how i feel when i have the money together to get the work done.

'The Shed' in Malaga will be your answer for repairs without the 'exotic' workshop bills.
