10K+ Poster!!
I am very tempted to make an offer on the engine without some of the parts that I do not need but I need to recover from some heavy spending recently but if this is still here when I am ready I will make a decent offer.
I ideally want to build up an Ally Blocked stroker but this does look like good value

Too many posts.. I need a life!!
my mate went to look at the shell when first advertised drove 3 hours got there and the car was in a million bits spread over the garage not like the photos show, then he said someones friend on here was interested in the hole lot so he was holding out to see if that came off no mention of any of this before he drove all the way down

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Engines basically brand new and built by one of the best builders in the country. Puerto is building my big power engine and has built Wenny's which you all k ie takes a fair bit of abuse. As the op says people are paying 3-4K for one that's been pulled out and old saph with no history! If you want a got and forget engine you just found it.

Apologies all, I am back, I havent been well at all and I've had some deep personal stuff going on and tbh coming on here and selling things is the last thing I've been thinking about, some things are just more important and hopefully be back to my self soon.
I will be on and off at least every couple of days, just bear with me...
I'll be going through and answering all PM's, again bear with me as there are 22 of them...
Cheers

To be fair I was putting him off coming as I wasnt ready for him to come but he was insisting on coming to take a look and not taking no for an answer. If someone wanted to buy the whole lot as a package of course I'm going to do that, its painful enough selling any of it, and even your mate said he would do the same thing. Also before you both left I said I know he had drove to take a look and that if the guy did take the whole lot I would bung him £100 for him coming, even though I was putting him off coming in the first place...
There are bits spread over the garage, the only things off the car/ shell which is being sold with it is the bonnet, suspension, hubs, brakes, front roll bar, front cross member, and ABS unit. All the other parts which I have are being sold seperate...

Not getting into a debate on this
Car was advertised for sale
I rang & wanted to buy, car wasn't ready to collect so "we agreed" I would drive 3-4 hours to look at the car/exhaust/rad/cooler only
If it was what I wanted I would leave a deposit & collect the car at your convenience.
4 hours later I arrive to find out you had changed the advert to 10,000 without wheels (wheels extra 1000) when I left it was advertised at 10,000 with the wheels so straight away we were £1000 apart on the price.
Then I offer good money on the car exhaust rad & cooler
Your reply was "yes ok but someone else rang 45 minutes ago & might be interested in the lot so I'll let u know"
So we agreed what was happening before I left.... yes
I stood up to my end..... yes
I wasted 8 hours off my time & took a day off work.... yes
It appears I'm the only 1 to have seen the car in its present state & had a pocket full of cash, most would have ran a mile or bid u in the balls imo.
Car could have been sold & 90% of the parts looking at your interest on here
My advice is: stick to your word or tell people that 1st come is not 1st served as I wouldn't have wasted my time
Onwards & upwards 👍
Good luck With your sales & better luck to the people trying to buy them

I dont want to get into a debate about this either as I really havent been good and I really dont want to argue with anyone nor have I got the energy to...
All I will say is that the car was never advertised for sale with the wheels, but also it didnt say that they wasnt included, someone asked to which I said they wasnt with the shell and amended the add to make it clear

The one part in question was a 2wd Exhaust manifold which I said
If found would be forwarded if found , never found , never sent
Pretty simple really

I did log on this morning quickly but had to leave. Your message asked if I'm around at the weekend, I just looked on my emails to see that you have said you have booked a flight. Why have you done this without waiting for my reply? I am away Friday to Sunday. I have pm'd you and replied to your email.
Cheers

Also the full gasket set you txt me saying you had found the next day but never forwarded it on?
Hence I called many times & txt but got ignored
Ok I'll fit the bill for that just like the Cosworth crank that was a pinto item!

All sold but no offer of my £100 for wasting my time
