Right, I've had the s-body sitting on the drive since last November due to a a blown head gasket. I then decided to sort out any rust in the engine bay whilst the engine was out and that is all finished now. I was planning on fitting the turbo to the replacement engine today and then fitting the replacement engine when a f**kin hangin basket flew off in the wind and cracked the windscreen. It is the final straw for me so I've decided to sell.
The good:
- I have welded and reconditioned the engine bay inc strut tops
Replacement engine that I purcahsed is ready to go aside from the turbo (included) fitting to it.
I've welded the passengerside footwell and the passengerside sils so that's all sorted.
All of the work removing the engine includes pictures of all of the parts removed and labeled in a box.

The Bad
No MOT SORN
Rust - particularly on the rear arches. Fixable but i've just lost interest. There is a patch of rust on the driverside footwell as well. And bits of surface rust in different spots all over the car, really.
Obviously the engine is not in the car so it will need to be towed
AND a brand new 6 inch crack in the windshield!
Polished Advan SA3R's not included. I'll sell them seperately.
What else can I say, I absolutely love this car but I just don't have the time or inclination to finish it. I am happy to talk to anyone interested in the car
