Thanks for the kind words. I wouldnt join a forum just to sell a car ,this is different. If I spend what i would need to to save it i want to know I gave anyone else who might fancy a project a shot first.
The car is in Dunfermlin. It went in for some brake problems and then the cowboy said it had HGF. IHe couldnt get it back together and running right but we rhink he eventually got it out of the workshop by filling it with sealant. It now shows low oil pressure and you cant get oil in through the normal "dipstick" filler. They have not taken the engine cover off to try the proper cap on the cam covers though. It still has some brake issues and no MoT so its a recovery job. I'm in the south and would have to get a good engine and have it fitted locally plus the brakes done and thats an expensive pain, but if no one closer saves it i will as its a nice early car. Its got the factory mesh windstop as well.
I will see if i can get the VIN and post it. Here is that number plate.
If I did get it fixed i would have it done for track fays gas flowed head K_N f52i straight though etc etc as we already have the 115 and the MGB for road events.
