Finally got my new toy home yesterday after a long trip to Essex, I ended up being recovered home by the AA...
I thought it was the head gasket but when I took the head off I found a holed piston!!
The cars in good condition, it needs a respray as the original paint is starting to peel off in places. Theres no rust, all the seams on the arches are solid, but it desperatly need new windscreen rubbers. Ive seen some bad rubbers but these are the worst Ive ever seen!!!I was scared to drive to fast with the windows open incase the rear screen fell out!
I wanted to get the engine swapped today as I want to use the car but theres been a few problems...The engine mounts are well past theyre best,the clutch was covered in oil, the rads got a small hole and I think I knocked the woodruf key into the sump when I put the bottom pulley back on...hey ho....tomorrows another day.
