Scan for what these roughly sell for, factor in the 12-14grand you want to spend and wont get back, re-visit option one and get another car.

well already have a built gearbox straight cut, also has coilovers which are 12months old bigger brakes so the engine is the only other bit not done.

Schools of thought, drop in a built engine and keep the car for umpteen years, spend what is necessary just to get car back on the road, or part out and sell.

Would be of legal age next year and that's too old for me. Signed, Rolf Harris.
