So bit gutting really as have owned the car for nearly a year now and tbh it's been a nite mate from the word go as picked it up and found a tapping a knocking engine and was awful to drive so engine and box came out to find bent valves and the springs on the clutch plate hanging off. So ended up looking for options and ended up going the whole hog and getting another engine and bodies and management fitted at same time, and now 6-7 months later its kinda back to square one again with spending a heap of cash at "specialists" inbetween lol
So kinda undecided on the next route to take tbh so currently weighing up the options of what to do
