good good, wits been done to the engine ?;)
Stupidly low miles, Stupidly clean, All new gaskets every time it's been apart! Lived in a show car for YEARS. Before that was uber pampered. Oil changes every 5k (Max) for the past few yearsQuote:

Engine looks spot on Tom :) is it in yet?
It will go nicely with 89bhp
Not yet, loads to clean and parts to source.
least yours is somewere near! i've not even picked up my donor yet lol
That looks a very nice 1300 there, think I've seen that engine somewhere before, or simular at least, did you get it from someone off here ?
Shell looks clean as well, should be cracking when all back together :)
bretts mk1 show car that was in total vauxhallQuote:
