After the great effort on the body, suspension, wheels and no doubt the interior….. an engine refurb will be the icing on the cake!

Oh yes!
Let’s all learn the lesson right here, right now!!!
DO NOT buy a car in bits!!
Why oh why remove everything from the shell? It makes no sense AT ALL!!
I can’t find any bits, I don’t even know what to look for!!! Let alone find it if I do !!!
