ill give that club a try mate thank you! yeah its a nice look!

ive got some 31" 10.5 mt with it too.. it was £850 but advertised with a perfect engine which has really annoyed me..

nice!! yeah i am thinking of doing an engine convert probably next year but this 410 is my first car so i got an insurance quote for it and its £1600! i dont really want to do anything major until i got a few no claims bonus under my belt lol

anyway back on topic.

i am getting a quote for big end bearings and thrust bearing tomorrow and then i can hopefully pull the engine out saturday.

thanks
