that was one REALLY quick engine before the rebuild but had to be done due to head gasket.
i'm on to my 3rd now
a Mint red 1043cc that did 2500 miles in the first 9 years and its only on 55k now and i'm the 3rd owner
just bought a new fuel tank today so going to fit it tomoz and now have a 1.8 carb engine out of a MkI golf to go in, just workingout engine mounts and drive shafts but almost there
