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

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 !!!

I feel your pain!

Bless you, and thanks for sharing some of the pain!!
Progress is so slow at the moment, as I search through jumbled up boxes of bits….
