Hi

I am sorry to hear that you appear to have had enough of your project. It sounds like you have done a lot of good work so far. They can be a bit daunting to put back together, thats for sure. Are you sure you will not feel differently in a months time?

The engine sounds very special, perhaps you could sell it separately?

I do hope things work out either way!

All the best

Zetec+ 2 under const, also 130S. And another 130S for complete restoration. Previously Racing green +2s with green tints. Yellow +2 and a couple of others, all missed. Great to be back 04/11/2021 although its all starting to get a bit out of control.
