hello, thought id come join the forum since there seems to be some useful info
heres a few pics of my work in progress... so far coming to a total cost of £151 for buying the car the V8 and getting it on the road with a 2.0 pinto (not including tax and test)
when i bought the car the previous owner had snapped a few exhaust studs off in the head and stripped the threads trying to remove them whist putting on a 4-2-1 manifold and ashley performance system... so i got a 205 block sierra engine and dropped that in for MOT, which it passed - not bad for a car that hadnt been started in 4 years !
the engine... £1 on ebay...
