Well see arrived today but it was dark so I`ll take some photo`s tomorrow.

May pop up on way Sunday and point out all the bad bits for you lol
Post 748712 by oblark on 2014-11-20 18:54:07
I had a quick look with a torch and it needs a bit of welding.
I`m not overly worried as it`s a 31 year old car that has stood for 10 years.

[QUOTE=Jamest5r;748752]Start it :)[/QUOTE]
I`ve ordered a battery so I`ll be picking it up Saturday morning.
I`ll give her a once over when I get home from work tomorrow (checking fliuds)
The plan would be first to get it to start and stop then slam it to the floor and fit some deep dished steel rims.
Engine wise either a 940 redblock or 850 whiteblock.
