hi all i am an amatur mechanic that wants to polish my skills on a nice simple engine b4 i start a collage course in september. I wanted to get my self an engine i could strip and rebuild and run on a test bench with little aggrivation and one simple enough my friend could put faults on for me to find but it would still run( unless of course that was the fault symptom) My search has lead me round and ropund through the yellow pages and seemingly annoying all the local brakers and scrap merchants. However it seams that someone has a vauxhall viva for sale in his yard he seemed to think it was a late 80's but cant seem to find any evidence to support this on the net. is this possable and if so how much should i be paying.
sorry for the long post
thanks in advance
