if i bought it what would be the best way to get it from there and trucked up here?

that could be the solution to a few problems...manual gearbox for my dad and some engine parts for skiddy and a few spare bits for me...

Hmmmm

Lol I was actually being totally serious. In the photo's it looks like there is a hole in the cam/rocker cover but you'd want to pull it to bits anyway.

Only hard part is getting it on a trailer!

can drop at my place in welly if it helps, easy enough to sort out a working day to remove the bits and get them on the way to where they need to go.....the rest can go to the scrap dealer for some $$$

skid · Post by **skid** » Mon Sep 21, 2009 9:10 am

got a wee bit enthused over the weekend and water blasted the engine bay....

which was to highlight the other issue we've encountered......

started to look at the rear handbrake set up that was doing nothing.........

was jealous of curly and his widdle tahs, so I put some of my own on......... coz mine need stripping and cleaning around the beads........

and seeing as how I've done some stupid things lately, I thought I'd do more :roll:

oops, the grinder slipped :shock:

sig · Post by **sig** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 7:23 pm

cracks are normal for 80s around the ps box

badnuz · Post by **badnuz** » Sun Oct 18, 2009 8:32 pm
