That looks a little like one of the cars that were being advertised as a sale of three cars altogether...
But I could easily be wrong!

yep - read the SVA manual carefully, it is in the section about projections into the engine sump. 
worx = you're right.

Well you have to be able to get it onto the rollers, so you do need some minimum ground clearance.

Nope your all wrong! I think he has his engine in wrong way up and hence pick up pipe out of the bonnet. Therefore the radius guage will come in to
contact!

if it doesn't have its loom fitted, it's not anywhere near 80% complete!
far far far too much money.

Why don't you offer 2 g and see what he says? It's just taking up space after all!
You guys are all so spoiled! I've spent 5 times that, and apart from a better engine, I'm no further ahead than that is (except I have no
loom, no gauges, no fuel tank, no lines and a bunch of stuff I can't remember.)

ASSUMING IT IS one of the cars that were sold as 3 together, i actually saw them being collected from MK.
they'd all been part built by the a technical college. assume you're buying everything to strip down as far as you can and start again.
anything that can't be stripped is to be repaired.
at that, i think 2k's still a lot of money. istr not much of the front running gear or engine had been reconditioned, so i doubt much of the
back end would have either.
maybe i'm just too much of a perfectionist

£20 for a set of bearings and £15 for a pair of disks  . That's still a bargain in anybody's books. You don't have to strip a rusty
Sierra, just wire brush and paint the bits that are already on it. You aren't going to leave the 1.6 pinto in it for too long after SVA anyway.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
